Article Abstract:

The Gautreaux residential mobility program is used to estimate the long-run impacts of placement neighborhood on the AFDC receipt and employment levels of low-income African-American women. Women placed in neighborhoods with high levels of resources and low African-American populations have spent significantly less time on welfare than women placed in highly African-American segregated areas with low levels of resources.
