2018 UAA Annual Conference

This panel will discuss housing stability and residential mobility by looking at both national and localized studies in the United States for the general population, with emphasis on low-income households. The national studies provide a greater understanding of length of stay for low-income households in assisted housing, and how length of residence, among other factors, impacts neighborhood crime rates. The localized studies use data from the Chicago metropolitan area to examine how housing stability influences residential mobility, Southern California to assess the neighborhood determinants of eviction, and Harris County, Texas to shed light on mobility outcomes, specifically neighborhood quality, for low-income renters. Together these studies frame an important policy discussion on the role of housing stability and residential mobility in communities across the nation.
