Housing and Poverty
Abstract
A major goal of social programs in a time of fiscal austerity is to focus available assistance on those households in the greatest need. This seemingly simple dictum has become increasingly difficult to follow as the dynamics of poverty have been clarified through analysis of longitudinal panel data in recent years. We can illustrate the importance of these dynamics using the following findings about the future incomes of the 22 million people in poverty in 1967.
