4The Chicago Panel Study tracked and surveyed a group of 198 former residents of Madden and Wells since 2001; our Chicago Family Case Management Demonstration surveyed the 475 “hard to house” residents of Madden, Wells, and Dearborn who received intensive case management and wrap-around services, including case management, clinical mental health counseling, transitional jobs, financial literacy workshops, substance abuse treatment, and enhanced mobility counseling. In 2011, we combined these samples to assess the long-term outcomes for CHA residents who had to relocate because their original public housing development was slated for demolition or rehabilitation.

9This finding is also consistent with finding from the Moving to Opportunity study. See Jennifer Comey, Susan J. Popkin, and Kaitlin Franks. 2012. “MTO: A Successful Housing Intervention.” Cityscape 14(2): 87–107.

10Our in-depth interviews with voucher holders suggest some of this growth may be due to the national foreclosure crisis, which has forced renters to quickly find a new place when the landlord faces foreclosure.

11The poverty rate in Madden and Wells was 72 percent; the rate was 78 percent in Dearborn. Both communities were almost entirely African-American. The share of residents living in poverty and racial concentration is assessed at the census tract level. Census 2000 is the data source for the original developments. Current Housing data are attained from the American Community Survey five-year 2005–2010 estimates (poverty rate) and Census 2010 (racial concentration).
