Ingrid Gould Ellen Presents at HUD’s Quarterly Housing Market and Research Update Panel
Sept.19, 2011: Furman Center faculty co-director Ingrid Gould Ellen presented at the Quarterly Housing Market and Research Update briefing hosted by HUD Assistant Secretary Raphael Bostic. The panel discussed findings from American Murder Mystery Revisited: Do Housing Voucher Households Cause Crime? which examines neighborhood crime and voucher utilization data from 10 large cities and finds that voucher holders do not increase neighborhood crime. The discussion of these findings begins to dispel prior claims regarding the relationship between HVC program participants and neighborhood crime.
