我们考察了居住社区的变化对居住在高贫困公共住房项目中的家庭福祉的短期影响，这些家庭通过随机抽签获得了第8条住房代金券。与对照组相比，提供代金券的家庭在多项幸福感指标上都有了改善，包括增加了安全性，改善了户主的健康，减少了男孩的行为问题。代金券对户主的就业、收入或福利收入没有显著的短期影响。仅在低贫困社区提供有效代金券的家庭中的儿童也降低了受伤、哮喘发作和犯罪受害的可能性。
We examine short-run impacts of changes in residential neighborhoods on the well-being of families residing in high-poverty public housing projects who received Section 8 housing vouchers through a random lottery. Households offered vouchers experienced improvements in multiple measures of well-being relative to a control group, including increased safety, improved health among household heads, and fewer behavior problems among boys. There were no significant short-run impacts of vouchers on the employment, earnings, or welfare receipt of household heads. Children in households offered vouchers valid only in low poverty neighborhoods also had reduced likelihood of injuries, asthma attacks, and victimizations by crime.
