Housing Survey

Theories explaining social cohesion in assisted housing largely pivot between two positions. The first suggests that assisted renters tend to be isolated from their neighbors because they live in high–poverty neighborhoods and in housing complexes that inhibit residential interaction. The second suggests that assisted renters are not isolated but instead exchange support with their neighbors in order to mitigate material hardships. How do residents in assisted housing manage to exchange support in a context that would seem to inhibit interaction? Drawing on the American Housing Survey for data on residential mobility and the San Diego Assisted Housing Survey for data on residential interaction, I test the hypothesis that assisted housing increases residential stability, and that increased stability provides assisted renters with more opportunities to build support networks with their neighbors. I find evidence that rent subsidies slow the pace of residential mobility and those longtime residents of assisted housing are more likely to exchange support with their neighbors than residents who more recently moved in. The findings inform debates over social cohesion in assisted housing and assisted housing policy.

The chapter describes the devastation to New Orleans and the Louisiana Gulf Coast inflicted by Hurricane Katrina. In Orleans Parish, 71.5 percent of housing units suffered some damage following Hurricane Katrina, with 42 percent severely damaged. The extent of housing destruction was similar in adjacent parishes of the wider New Orleans metropolitan area. Consequently, many prisoners released soon after Katrina could not go back to their old neighborhoods, as they normally would have done. Typically, 75 percent of individuals released from prison return to their former parish of residence. In the first six months after Katrina, just 50 percent returned to their home parish. Thus, this chapter shows that Hurricane Katrina fundamentally altered prevailing geographic patterns of prisoner reentry in Louisiana, affecting residential change and residential mobility for this population.
