“…Although this finding is novel to the housing field, it is well studied in other social science fields. In this case resilience, especially resilience framed in an ecological conceptual framework, has been seen to help various individuals and families reach greater levels of socioeconomic mobility (Collard, 2010;Distelberg & Taylor, 2013;Johnson, Honnold, & Threlfall, 2011;Keene & Geronimus, 2011;Meschede, 2010;Noone & Patterson, 2010;Tester, Ruel, Anderson, Reitzes, & Oakley, 2011;Theodos, Popkin, Guernsey, & Getsinger, 2010). It is also important to note that in a recent evaluation of the welfare to work program, Bowie, Barthelemy, and White (2007) found some benefit to socioeconomic mobility programs in relationship to housing assistance programs, but they also noted a need for future evaluations to include more robust measurements for concepts in line with a resilience conceptual framework.…”
