The Influence of Section 8 Vouchers on the Housing Careers of Low-Income Individuals Author: Kim Skobba Dissertation School: Regents of the University of Minnesota Pages: 35 Publication Date: 05/2008 Availability: Access Number: 5028 Abstract: The majority of Americans experience housing careers that are ascending in nature (Clark et al., 2003). This upward progression is achieved through tenure change, from renter to homeowner or through improvements in housing quality. For a smaller portion of Americans, the housing careers consists of housing sequences that do not lead to improvements in housing tenure status and quality over time. This research builds on the work by Cook et. al. (2003) and others by studying the housing careers of low-income individuals and how the receipt of housing assistance influences their housing career paths. While this research is primarily qualitative, including only a small sample, the findings highlight the critical housing issues experienced by low-income people and emphasizes the important role that Housing Choice Vouchers play in helping people with serious housing problems. |
