What this research studies
We are looking at two types of housing policies to see if they can lower community violence, especially among youth and young adults. One policy is the Choice Neighborhoods program, which helps revitalize areas with historical underinvestment and struggling public housing. The other policy involves laws that prevent landlords from discriminating based on a person's source of income. We believe these policies can reduce violence by addressing issues like segregation and concentrated disadvantage in neighborhoods.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: This research focuses on communities and young people affected by violence and housing disparities, rather than individual patients.
Not a fit: Individuals not living in communities impacted by the housing policies being studied may not directly benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could lead to new housing policies or improvements in existing ones that make communities safer and reduce violence for residents.
How similar studies have performed: While the specific combination of these policies and their direct link to violence reduction is being explored, previous research has shown that social and structural conditions can influence community violence.
