“…Theoretically, public housing projects were intended to assist poor families. However, poverty became notably more concentrated in economically distressed communities as public housing inventories increased (Casas et al, 2016;Lindberg et al, 2010). Anecdotal and expert evidence supported the conclusion that public housing residents confronted various difficulties, including poor health, higher rates of crime and violence, and restricted availability to social support networks (The Annie E. Casey Foundation, 2019; Anthony & Robbins, 2013;Kingsley, 2017;O'Regan, 2017).…”

“…Mobility housing programs can be divided into two main categories (Casas et al, 2016;Cassidy et al, 2014;Kingsley, 2017;Kleinhans, 2004;M. C. Lens, 2013).…”

“…C. Lens, 2013). First, resettlement or relocation programs aim to deconcentrate poverty by demolishing public housing units and offering incentives such as housing vouchers to residents to move to neighborhoods with less poverty (Casas et al, 2016;Cassidy et al, 2014). Examples include the Gautreaux project in Chicago, Moving to Opportunity (MTO) in Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City, and Vouchers (Section 8).…”

“…More recent systematic review research synthesized the primary studies on housing interventions and crime in the United States (Casas et al, 2016;Cassidy et al, 2014;Kleinhans & Varady, 2011; M. C. . Primary studies included in the systematic review research were published between 1980 and 2012.…”

“…Table 1 indicates that all four systematic review studies concluded that there was insufficient evidence on the housing intervention effect on neighborhood crime. In addition, there were some inconsistencies between two of the systematic reviews in their findings on youth violence (Casas et al, 2016;Cassidy et al, 2014). While Casas et al (2016) tested how housing relocation strategies influence crime in general, Cassidy et al (2014) investigated the impact of both relocation and diversification on youth violence only.…”

Mobility housing programs aim to deconcentrate poverty in public housing areas. Previous synthesis research results describe the potential negative impact of mobility programs on the physical and mental health of youth. The current systematic review aims to expand our knowledge of the effects of living in a public housing development and leaving public housing and moving to a new neighborhood on youth risk behaviors, including both general crime/delinquency and substance use, sexual risk behavior, behavioral problems, and binge drinking. The systematic review process produced 7 primary research studies on public housing effects and 10 research studies on resettlement effects. Regarding public housing effects, five studies found a higher incidence of youth risk behaviors in public housing areas, while two studies concluded that not all children and adolescents living in public housing areas are adversely affected by the local environment. Of the 10 studies on the effects of relocation from public housing to other areas, 2 non-randomized controlled trial (RCT) studies found negative impacts, but 8 RCT studies found diversity in relocation effects on youth risk behaviors. These results highlight the need for tailored services for relocated youth taking into consideration their gender, age, family characteristics, and relocation sites. No studies on diversification housing projects satisfied the inclusion criteria in the current systematic review. With a thorough examination of the literature and a discussion of implications, a clear path for future inquiry and youth interventions is presented.

This paper reviews a large number of scholarly articles in the housing field spanning the last thirty years, from 1993 to 2022 by implementing bibliometric analysis method. We examine scientific outputs, identify influential articles, journals, international collaboration and evolution of research trends. Keywords such as “Housing price,” “Housing policy,” “Affordable housing,” “Homeownership,” “Housing market,” “Urban planning,” and “Neighborhood” have been identified as the most prevalently cited terms during this period. Furthermore, the prominence of terms such as “China,” “Gentrification,” “Public housing,” “Social housing,” “Homelessness,” “Migration,” “Urbanization,” “Energy,” “Inequality,” “Land use,” “Gender,” and “Foreclosure” have grown in importance, pointing to future research trends. The analysis also reveals that articles pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic predominantly address the comprehensive effects of the virus on aspects of mental and physical health, consumer behavior, and economic and societal challenges.
