Abstract
Twelve years after the start of the Chicago Housing Authority’s Plan for Transformation (the Transformation), more than 16,000 families have been relocated into a variety of housing contexts including new mixed-income developments, private rental housing subsidized with vouchers, scattered-site public housing units, and rehabilitated traditional public housing developments. Tese households have been relocated with the stated goals of reducing concentrated poverty, revitalizing neighborhoods, and improving well-being, but questions remain about what has happened to the residents. Where did families end up? Are diferent types of households moving to diferent housing contexts? Does family well-being difer based on housing type? In this brief, we explore: • The factors contributing to household relocation decisions. • Relocated households’ current locations and characteristics of their new neighborhoods. • Diferences in household well-being for families living in diferent housing contexts.
