B2b Building Futures: The Impact of Affordable Housing on Student Achievement
Short Description
The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program – created in 1986 as part of the Tax Reform Act – is the largest federal program to finance the development of affordable rental housing. This project aims to examine the short-, moderate-, and long-term impact of Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) developments on the educational outcomes of public school students. Specifically, it will investigate how proximity to affordable housing developments influences students’ outcomes, including both academic performance and behavioral outcomes. Focusing on the effects in the short-term (1 year) and long-term (5-10 years), the project seeks to explore the interplay between housing affordability, neighborhoods, and educational achievement in K-12 public schools. This project will examine how these impacts differ across race, gender, and socioeconomic status to better understand the extent to which the effect of affordable housing differs by these student characteristics.
