Abstract: Stable housing is critical for health, employment, education, and other social outcomes. Evictions reflect housing instability that is experienced by millions of Americans each year. Psychiatric disorders are proximate determinants of evictions. We estimate the effect of local access to psychiatric treatment on evictions. We combine data on the number of psychiatric treatment centers that offer outpatient and residential care within a county with eviction outcomes in a two-way fixed-effects framework. We find that ten additional psychiatric treatment centers in a county leads to a reduction of 2.1% in the eviction rate.
