Summary
Launched in 1994, the Moving to Opportunity program took a largely untested approach to poverty: helping families move from high-poverty, inner-city public housing to low-poverty neighborhoods. The book emphasizes the voices and choices of the program's participants but also rigorously analyzes the changing structures of regional opportunity and constraint that shaped the fortunes of those who "signed up." It shines a light on the hopes, surprises, achievements, and limitations of a major social experiment.--,From publisher's description.
