| Abstract | The Housing Act of 1949 espoused the goal of "a decent home and a suitable living environment" for all Americans. Nearly 70 years later, significant strides have been made in improving the quality of American homes, but there continue to be large disparities across income and race, especially with respect to neighborhood environments. These disparities matter: growing research shows that neighborhoods shape children's long-run life chances. This report focuses on neighborhood schools, highlighting disparities between families living in subsidized housing and those who do not. The authors describe the characteristics of the local public elementary schools to which children living in subsidized housing have access, including their student demographics, teacher characteristics and relative proficiency rates. They include all households with children that receive housing assistance from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as well as those living in Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) developments, for all 50 states and the 100 largest metropolitan areas, updating an earlier Poverty & Race Research Action Council (PRRAC) report that relied on 2008 data. This report compares the profile of the schools accessible to HUD-assisted and LIHTC households in 2016 to the profile of those accessible to other similar households within the same state or metropolitan area. In brief, the authors found that families receiving all four major types of federal housing assistance lived near lower performing and higher poverty schools than other poor families with children as well as other renters with children. Large differences by race within the voucher program were also found, with black and Hispanic voucher holders living near significantly lower performing and higher poverty schools than white voucher holders. Lastly, the authors found large variation across metropolitan areas in outcomes for assisted families. (ERIC). |
