Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A series of policy shifts over the past decade promises to change how Americans decide where to send their children to school. In theory, the boom in standardized test scores and charter schools will allow parents to evaluate their assigned neighborhood school, or move in search of a better option. But what kind of data do parents actually use while choosing schools? Are there differences among suburban and urban families? How do parents’ choices influence school and residential segregation in America? Choosing Homes, Choosing Schools presents a breakthrough analysis of the new era of school choice, and what it portends for American neighborhoods. The distinguished contributors to Choosing Homes, Choosing Schools investigate the complex relationship between education, neighborhood social networks, and larger patterns of inequality. Paul Jargowsky reviews recent trends in segregation by race and class. His analysis shows that segregation between blacks and whites has declined since 1970, but remains extremely high. Moreover, white families with children are less likely than childless whites to live in neighborhoods with more minority residents. In her chapter, Annette Lareau draws on interviews with parents in three suburban neighborhoods to analyze school-choice decisions. Surprisingly, she finds that middle- and upper-class parents do not rely on active research, such as school tours or test scores. Instead, most simply trust advice from friends and other people in their network. Their decision-making process was largely informal and passive. Eliot Weinginer complements this research when he draws from his data on urban parents. He finds that these families worry endlessly about the selection of a school, and that parents of all backgrounds actively consider alternatives, including charter schools. Middle- and upper-class parents relied more on federally mandated report cards, district websites, and online forums, while working-class parents use network contacts to gain information on school quality. Little previous research has explored what role school concerns play in the preferences of white and minority parents for particular neighborhoods. Featuring innovative work from more than a dozen scholars, Choosing Homes, Choosing Schools adroitly addresses this gap and provides a firmer understanding of how Americans choose where to live and send their children to school.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program was initiated through the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 with policy goals of promoting mixed-income neighborhoods and residential mobility. Prior evaluations of the HCV program find that HCV program recipients are residing in lower-poverty neighborhoods when compared to other low-income renter, yet yield mixed results in regard to desegregation and quality of neighborhoods. This study builds on prior evaluations of HCV program policy goals using a mixed-methods approach by examining the factors that predict residential mobility of the HCV program recipients and their residential outcomes in terms of change in poverty and change in racial composition in neighborhoods. Administrative data from the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA) was utilized for this study (N=1000). Through OLS Regression, race, age, gender, number in family, increase in TTP, increase in FMR, and decrease in FMR were significant in explaining the variance in residential mobility. Residential mobility was not significant in predicting a change in poverty, although age and race were found to be significant. Through the use of MANOVA, a recipient's race was not found to predict racial composition in neighborhoods. To further understand residential mobility, twelve individual interviews were conducted with current HCV program recipients to explore their decision-making process in locating and obtaining a home. Through the use of social constructivism and grounded theory, the data was analyzed to determine the decision-making process of the interviewees. From the analysis, the decision-making process of the recipients consists of six prominent themes. The themes include the following: (1) Experience in residence prior to the HCV program; (2) Evaluation/Specification of "wants" (in regard to a home); (3) Search for home based on pre-determined "wants"; (4) Outcome of home search; (5) Unforeseen circumstances or unplanned or planned events; and (6) Re-evaluation Re-specification of "wants". In addition to the decision-making process in locating and obtaining a home, the recipients explained their experience in the HCV program. This study explains the mobility outcomes of HCV program recipients and provides information in regard to the recipients' decision-making process in locating and obtaining a home.

Book excerpt: Residential relocation is the household decision that generates housing consumption changes. It is not merely a decision about changing locations; it is also a decision about tenure—about whether to own or to rent. Research into housing markets has been largely focused on the process of changing from renting to owning, as most countries in the Western world have moved from predominantly rental societies to societies of homeowners. Households and Housing is designed to demonstrate the interconnections between the housing stock and households. The focus is on understanding the demand for housing and the way in which the demand is fulfilled as households select housing. This book is concerned with both the decision to move one's residence and the resulting type of housing choice. The housing supply—the stock of dwellings—is the context within which households make choices and acquire housing. The authors use the concepts of life course, housing career, and housing hierarchy to trace the movement of households through the housing market. They paint a comprehensive picture of housing consumption by age, income, and tenure choice, illustrated with nearly 150 figures and tables. US housing market data are contrasted with data from the Netherlands to document the differential effects of government intervention. This is the most up-to-date analysis available on the dynamics of housing choices and housing markets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history, the United States has made efforts to tackle de-concentration of poverty in order to allow people an opportunity for a better quality of life. With communities facing scarcity of affordable housing, more and more people with low-income are forced to live in areas with high poverty, high crime, low performing schools, among other factors relating to low socio-economic status neighborhoods. The United States government, throughout the years, has improved policies to tackle the concentration of poverty in order to incorporate diversity into highly affluent communities. There is much research around Federal housing subsidy programs, like Section 8 and Public Housing, which finds deep-rooted stigmas associated to both program recipients as well as the program itself. The stigmatization of clients being assisted with housing subsidies disallows this population to transition out of low socio-economic status neighborhoods into more affluent neighborhoods.

This book was released on 2011-05-12 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the current trends in housing? Is my planned project commercially viable? What should be my marketing and advertisement strategies? These are just some of the questions real estate agents, landlords and developers ask researchers to answer. But to find the answers, researchers are faced with a wide variety of methods that measure housing preferences and choices. To select and value a valid research method, one needs a well-structured overview of the methods that are used in housing preference and housing choice research. This comprehensive introduction to this field offers just such an overview. It discusses and compares numerous methods, detailing the potential limitation of each one, and it reaches beyond methodology, illustrating how thoughtful consideration of methods and techniques in research can help researchers and other professionals to deliver products and services that are more in line with residents’ needs.

Book excerpt: In the Baltimore region, a successful housing mobility program is providing families living in very disadvantaged inner city communities with a new home and a chance for a new life. Minority voucher holders in the federal Housing Choice Voucher Program (formerly titled Section 8) have often been limited to living in "voucher submarkets" where racial and economic segregation is high and opportunities are limited. The Baltimore Housing Mobility Program, a specialized regional voucher program operating with deliberate attention to expanding fair housing choice, has overcome some of the biggest barriers to using vouchers in suburban and city neighborhoods where opportunities are abundant. The program's results-oriented approach has produced a replicable set of best practices for mobility programs while presenting an important model for reform of the national Housing Choice Voucher Program. This report, "New Homes, New Neighborhoods, New Schools: A Progress Report on the Baltimore Housing Mobility Program," provides the first-ever comprehensive description of the program. A Note on the ACLU Client Feedback Project and Survey Methodology are appended. (Contains 95 endnotes.).
