When low-income households receive a housing choice voucher (HCV), this rent subsidy may make it possible to move to neighborhoods where children have access to schools that improve their educational outcomes. This study examines how receiving an HCV shapes families’ residential choices and neighborhood contexts, and how this influences their children’s school enrollment and school characteristics. Additionally, through an analysis of the students’ academic records, this study examines how HCV receipt and subsequent relocation shapes students’ short- and long-term educational outcomes. By advancing understanding of the relationship between housing voucher receipt, school enrollment, and educational outcomes, this study informs the decision-making of housing authorities responsible for implementing housing voucher policy and practice and school districts working to support low-income students. This study addresses four objectives: 1) document changes in neighborhood contexts and school enrollment patterns of students whose families receive housing choice vouchers (HCVs); 2) identify structural barriers to accessing different school catchment areas for these families; 3) assess how housing and school choices mutually influence voucher use and affect subsequent residential and school mobility; and 4) identify the effects of voucher receipt on student educational outcomes. The study leveraged four levels of data spanning the years 2000-2022: student level, family level, school level, and neighborhood level. Through a combination of geospatial analyses, discrete choice modeling, and difference-in-difference analyses, this project assesses where families move with their vouchers, how their residential trajectories align with school enrollment, and how voucher receipt impacts student outcomes, including test-scores, high school graduation, and college enrollment.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

当低收入家庭收到住房选择券（HCV）时，这种租金补贴可能使他们有可能搬到儿童可以进入学校的社区，从而改善他们的教育成果。本研究探讨了接受 HCV 如何影响家庭的居住选择和社区环境，以及这如何影响其孩子的入学率和学校特征。此外，通过对学生学业记录的分析，本研究探讨了 HCV 接收和随后的搬迁如何影响学生的短期和长期教育成果。通过加深对住房券领取、入学率和教育成果之间关系的理解，本研究为负责实施住房券政策和实践的住房当局以及致力于支持低收入学生的学区的决策提供了信息。本研究涉及四个目标：1) 记录社区环境和家庭领取住房选择券 (HCV) 的学生入学模式的变化； 2) 确定这些家庭进入不同学区的结构性障碍； 3) 评估住房和学校选择如何相互影响学券的使用以及随后的住宿和学校流动性； 4) 确定学券收据对学生教育成果的影响。该研究利用了 2000 年至 2022 年四个层面的数据：学生层面、家庭层面、学校层面和社区层面。通过地理空间分析、离散选择模型和双重差分分析的结合，该项目评估了家庭带着代金券搬到哪里、他们的居住轨迹如何与学校入学保持一致，以及代金券收据如何影响学生的成绩，包括考试成绩、高中毕业和大学入学。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用 基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
