Multipleregression on the probability <strong>of</strong> aneighborhood receiving publichousing between 1980 and 1990.Logistic regression on the effects<strong>of</strong> subsidized housing onneighborhood poverty throughanalysis <strong>of</strong> migration patterns.Links geocoded PSIDlongitudinal data with subsidizedhousing data and censusneighborhood characteristics.Propensity scores were used tomatch neighborhoods with andwithout subsidized housing.Controls for moving behavior byage and race and variousinteraction effects. Nonlineareffects on number <strong>of</strong> units perproject studied for outmigration,sample sizes toosmall to study thresholds for inmigration.Low-income subsidized housing did nothave a "crowd out" effect. New moderateincome subsidized units resulted in only onethird to one half a unit increase whichindicates that subsidizing moderate incomehousing will reduce private sector activity inthis income range.Assisted housing developed during the1980's did not appear to fosterneighborhood racial transition.Neighborhoods with assisted housing weremore likely to have non-poor outmigrationand poor in-migration. Once the controlvariables are added the relationship betweenassisted housing and neighborhood outmigrationis a spurious one. In-migrationwas found to be sensitive to the presence <strong>of</strong>assisted housing. Threshold effects on thenumber <strong>of</strong> units in projects exist for outmigrationfor some categories for blacks andLatinos but not for whites or as a whole.Although the results indicate that classspecific migration is not necessarily causedby the presence <strong>of</strong> assisted housing, it is aconcern that this is the trend. Greaterattention should be paid to theneighborhood surrounding the assistedhousing.190
