Homeownership program beneficiaries generally live in more affluent, racially homogenous neighborhoods than those seeking rental assistance, highlighting segregation in housing aid distribution.
The latest report found no meaningful change in neighborhood poverty for program participants, indicating ongoing challenges for low-income families accessing high-opportunity areas.
Black and Hispanic voucher holders tend to live in neighborhoods with higher poverty rates than white voucher holders, suggesting race and income disparities in housing assistance.
Research indicates that the race and ethnicity of program participants significantly influence their housing locations, with white voucher recipients more likely to reside in higher opportunity neighborhoods.
