Connecting Families to Opportunity: The Next Generation of Housing Mobility Policy (Philip Tegeler, November 2007)

November 1, 2007 by

By Philip Tegeler. Reprinted from All Things Being Equal: Instigating Opportunity in an Equitable Time (New Press, November 2007).

Excerpt: In the twenty years since the first studies of the Gautreaux mobility program began to be published, our understanding of housing mobility has become increasingly sophisticated. These programs are not the ultimate “solution” to urban poverty and segregation, but they are crucially important for the families who choose to participate, and they are an important step toward more equitable and integrated metropolitan regions. There will surely be a need for further research, but we have learned enough about the dynamics of housing mobility and its relation to health, education, child development, and employment, to begin to design the next generation of housing mobility programs.
