The MTO for Fair Housing Demonstration provides a unique opportunity to definitively measure the impacts of an important change in neighborhood opportunity on the employment, income, education achievement, and social wellbeing of lowincome public housing families. Between 1994 and 1998 families living in high poverty public housing in Boston, New York, Baltimore, Chicago, and Los Angeles were given an opportunity to move to lower poverty neighborhoods with a Housing Choice Voucher. This program was designed with a longrange research goal to measure how this move affected these families over time. This data collection request is for the final evaluation, measuring impacts after 10 years.
