Housing Assistance and Employment: How Far‐Reaching Are the Effects of Rental Subsidies?

Abstract

This article uses instrumental variables models and data from the National Survey of America’s Families to explore associations between rental housing assistance and employment among low‐income, single‐mother households in the United States. Results suggest that housing assistance has indirect effects on employment. These effects operate through the stability of housing residency. However, the analyses provide little evidence of direct association between housing assistance and employment. The article also finds that unit‐ and tenant‐based assistance are differentially associated with work hours among employed, low‐income single mothers.
