SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SRC Seminar Series Presents: The Impact of Temporary Rental Subsidies on Homelessness: A Randomized Controlled Trial
DESCRIPTION:https://umich.zoom.us/s/93308993048\nMeeting ID: 933 0899 3048\nPasscode: 262913\n\nAbstract: Unconditional\, indefinite housing subsidies have been shown to reduce homelessness\, but such programs are massively over-subscribed. Policymakers have expanded less expensive\, time-limited Rapid Re-Housing (RRH) subsidies to serve more people\, with little empirical backing. Time-limited rental subsidies are predicated on the idea that homelessness results from financial constraints that can be addressed with temporary assistance. We conduct a randomized controlled trial that provides temporary rental subsidies to single\, homeless adults. During the 30 months after random assignment\, the treatment group receives an unconditional average of about $10\,000 in financial assistance\, even though only about half of those assigned to the treatment group successfully lease a unit with assistance. This assistance leads to a reduction in incidence of homelessness of one-third and a reduction in the number of shelter days by two-thirds while the subsidy is active. Preliminary sub-sample results indicate that most of these effects persist after the subsidy ends.\n\nBio: James Sullivan is a Professor of Economics at the University of Notre Dame.
