Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The Moving to Opportunity (MTO) demonstration program offered over 4,000 public housing residents in five U.S. cities the opportunity to move to low poverty neighborhoods using a Section 8 housing voucher. Results from an interim survey conducted four to seven years after random assignment showed that boys in the experimental group fared no better or worse on measures of risky and delinquent behavior than their control-group counterparts, while girls in the experimental group demonstrated better mental health and lower risk behavior relative to control group girls. This paper uses data from "family-focused" ethnographic fieldwork conducted with 37 MTO households to examine parental and adolescent boys' views and behavioral responses towards different neighborhood environments in three cities - Boston, Los Angeles, and New York. The findings include an analysis of parenting strategies, and suggest that social networks and daily routines provide a framework for understanding how housing programs might increase resources and reduce risk for adolescent boys.
