Study: Black and white kids faring equally in subsidized housing
Johns Hopkins University

Once-formidable disparities between black and white families living in subsidized housing have largely vanished, and black and white children who grew up in such housing fared similarly in school, jobs and earnings, a new Johns Hopkins University study found.

One troubling difference remains, however, between black and white families in assisted housing -- neighborhood quality. Black families getting subsidized housing are about nine time more likely than whites to live in segregated, impoverished neighborhoods, the study found.
