The intersections of education with housing and affordability : essays on impacts to schools, students, and teachers
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This dissertation explores the question of how housing policy and the availability of affordable housing affect education. It consists of three papers that collectively provide evidence on the ways that shortages of affordable housing impact students and teachers, as well as examine the effects that policies addressing these shortages can have on educational equity and opportunities for disadvantaged students. In the first chapter, I examine the effect that low-income housing development has had on the racial, ethnic, and economic diversity of neighborhood public schools using evidence from the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC), the most important federal policy instrument incentivizing the supply of affordable housing. Using a regression discontinuity design, I find that LIHTC development did not result in a change in school composition on the nationwide level, but significantly increased minority student enrollment in predominantly white areas. In the second chapter, I estimate the short- and medium-term impacts that a rapid rehousing and homelessness prevention program has on homeless students, focusing on the outcomes of school and district mobility, attendance, and behavioral referrals. I use generalized difference-in-difference and event study models to find, among other results, that participation in the program had positive behavioral impacts but increased absences for students rehoused to faraway cities. In the final chapter, I and co-authors explore the prevalence and implications of economic anxiety among teachers in a high cost urban district using a combination of survey and administrative data. We find that economic anxiety is widespread among surveyed teachers and that it is highly predictive of teacher departure from the district, increased teacher absences, and more negative attitudes toward their jobs
