Evaluation of security-deposit assistance program for low-income residents in Milwaukee.

Loyola University sociologist Peter Rosenblatt is the lead researcher on a new CURL project to examine a security deposit assistance program in Milwaukee that uses the incentive to encourage low-income residents to move to higher opportunity, lower poverty neighborhoods. Funded by the Washington DC-based Poverty Race Research Action Council, CURL will partner with the Metropolitan Milwaukee Fair Housing Council in completing this project. Findings will be of value to fair housing organizations and local governments throughout the country as they seek to increase housing options and related economic and social opportunities for low-income residents.
