| Program/Policy Description |
This project uses HUD microdata to compare the characteristics, earnings, and TANF participation of housing assistance recipients with a similar population drawn from the Current Population Survey. In addition, using survey data we have collected from public housing authorities who administer assisted housing programs, we test whether programs administered by the most pro-active housing authorities have accelerated the movement of housing assistance recipients into the workforce. Finally, we test for differential effects of the three main types of housing assistance: public housing, privately-owned project-based housing, and rental certificates and vouchers.
