Abstract: High rates of crime and violence in public housing developments over the past two decades led to a dramatic shift in housing policy for low-income families. High-rise public housing developments were demolished and replaced with low-density mixed-income communities, forcing thousands of families to relocate into the private market. Underlying these changes is the notion that neighborhood disadvantage causes negative outcomes for children. The three empirical studies of this dissertation examine this relationship.
