Stoneleigh Fellow Vincent Reina discusses the early findings from the ongoing study of the PHLHousing+ program.
The Housing Initiative at Penn and Penn’s Department of Psychology are collaborating with the City of Philadelphia on PHLHousing+, a three-year rental assistance pilot that provides monthly cash transfers to 301 low-income families. Researchers from both departments are evaluating how the cash assistance compares to traditional housing vouchers and how the program affects youth well–being.
Housing Initiative at Penn Faculty Director Vincent Reina, who studies low–income housing policy, explains that the project compares cash transfers with the Housing Choice Voucher program.
