Housing: Mixed-Income Housing Developments

Task Force Finding*

Creation of mixed-income housing developments is one approach for increasing local socioeconomic heterogeneity and preventing or reversing neighborhood physical and social deterioration, while expanding the supply of decent, affordable housing.

The Task Force, however, found no qualifying studies. As a result, there is insufficient evidence to determine the effectiveness of this intervention.
