It also provides a set of neighborhood amenities and a package of local public services, including, most critically, a local school. Yet housing and education policymakers rarely coordinate their efforts, and there has been little examination of the schools that voucher holders or other assisted households actually reach. In this project we describe the elementary schools nearest to households receiving four different forms of housing assistance in the country as a whole, in each of the 50 states, and in the 100 largest metropolitan areas. We compare the characteristics of these schools to those accessible to other comparable households. We pay particular attention to whether voucher holders are able to reach neighborhoods with higher performing schools than other low-income households in the same geographic area.  \nIn brief, we find that assisted households as a whole are more likely to live near low-performing schools than other households. Surprisingly, Housing Choice Voucher holders do not generally live near higher performing schools than households receiving other forms of housing assistance, even though the voucher program was created, in part, to help low-income households reach a broader range of neighborhoodsand schools. While voucher holders typically live near schools that are higher performing than those nearest to public housing tenants, they also typically live near schools that are slightly lower performing than those nearest to households living in Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) and Projectbased Section 8 developments and lower performing than those nearest to other poor households.  \nOur analysis is based on the most recent available data from 2008-09, which means that the data do not take  \ninto account the efforts of HUD and state housing agencies to improve the operation of their housing programs over the past four years. The data will also not reflect the full impacts ofthe recession and housing crisis on subsidized housing location patterns. We are looking forward to comparing this baseline data with 2012 data when they become available.  \nBACKGROUND  \nRoughly one in four eligible households in the United States receives a housing subsidy from the federal government.1 These subsidies come in many different forms, but in this report we focus on the four programs that constitute the overwhelming majority of federal assistance: Public Housing; Project-based Section 8; Low Income Housing Tax Credits; and Housing Choice Vouchers. The programs collectively serve millions of households around the country.  \n✽ Roughly 1.2 million households (including more than 360,000 households with children under the age of 18) live in traditional public housing, which is owned and operated by local government authorities around the country.  \n✽ Another 1 .5 million households live in privately owned housing that is subsidized by the  \nU.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The largest of these programs is the Project-based Section 8 program, which provides home","cbCainjI74A8fXzb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainjI74A8fXzb","pdf",893866,24,"English","# Introduction\n## Background\n## Methodology","[{\"question\":\"Which four federal housing assistance programs does the report focus on?\",\"answer\":\"It focuses on Public Housing, Project-based Section 8, Low Income Housing Tax Credits, and Housing Choice Vouchers.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the central question about voucher households and school performance?\",\"answer\":\"The report asks whether Housing Choice Voucher holders can reach neighborhoods with higher-performing public schools than other low-income households in the same geographic area.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the report find overall about assisted households and nearby school performance?\",\"answer\":\"Assisted households overall are more likely to live near low-performing schools, and voucher holders do not generally live near higher-performing schools compared with other assisted or low-income households.\"}]","Civil Rights Research - November 2012 - Do Federally Assisted Households Have Access to High Performing Public Schools? | PDF",1792057827]
