New work from @oppinsights.bsky.social finds that the HOPE VI program improved kids outcomes. The reason: Whereas the projects HOPE VI replaced were isolated from the surrounding community, the new housing wasn't. 1/2 www.wsj.com/economy/hous...

How Remaking the Neighborhood Could Boost Poor Kids’ Futures

A 1990s government initiative to replace housing projects with mixed-income developments gave children an economic lift as adults, new research finds.

➡️ Main Finding: Children who grew up in revitalized public housing earn ~50% more as adults, largely due to more mixed-income social interactions. Place-based investments that connect low-opportunity areas to surrounding neighborhoods can substantially boost economic mobility.
