“…This supports most findings of earlier studies into forced relocation in the Netherlands (Bolt and Van Kempen 2010;Doff and Kleinhans 2011;Kleinhans 2003;Posthumus et al 2013a) as well as in the US (Buron 2004;Clampet-Lundquist 2004;Popkin et al 2009). Relocatees in the US found improvement mostly related to the level of economic mix of the neighbourhood; Dutch relocatees also moved to neighbourhoods with slightly less ethnic minorities.…”

Displacement and urban restructuring in Amsterdam; following relocatees after demolition of social housing

Over the past decade, urban restructuring of segregated neighbourhoods has transformed many urban districts, in the Netherlands and elsewhere; middle class households have entered neighbourhoods which were previously inhabited by lower class. Some argue that this influx of middle-class has happened at the expense of the displaced original population. We investigated this process of (forced) relocation from restructured neighbourhoods. In contrast with earlier studies, individual level data has been provided directly by one of the Amsterdam housing associations involved in this process. This offered the opportunity to analyse population data, not a sample, of all relocatees from four particular urban restructuring projects in Amsterdam. We investigated location preferences before relocation as well as actual residential location behaviour per household and relocatee type, and compared characteristics of their old and new dwellings and neighbourhoods. One of the findings is that forced relocation often parallels preferences expressed by the displaced.

“…Underlying this transformation was the hope that public housing residents would benefit both socially and economically from living in more diverse, higher opportunity neighborhoods (Joseph, Chaskin, and Webber, 2007). Although not every public housing revitalization project has realized all these hopes, a large body of research shows that former residents are generally living in better housing in safer neighborhoods where they experience less stress and anxiety (Briggs, Popkin, and Goering, 2010;Popkin, Levy, and Buron, 2009;Turner, Popkin, and Rawlings, 2009). …”

“…The limitations of the voucher program-that rents must fit HUD's guidelines for affordability and landlords must be willing to comply with program rules and regulations-meant, however, that voucher rental units tended to concentrate in lower income, heavily minority areas (Cunningham and Droesch, 2005). Although the CHA offered residents relocation assistance and mobility counseling to encourage them to move to opportunity areas that offered better schools and services, and although those who chose vouchers could move to any unit that met housing quality and rent payment standards, many chose to stay in familiar areas on the city's South and West Sides (Popkin, Levy, and Buron, 2009). Furthermore, one benefit of tenant-based vouchers is that recipients have the freedom to move, and many residents moved several times after leaving public housing.…”

“…Le même type d'observation est produit par l'enquête par panel. Cette enquête indique aussi que ce sont les ménages bénéficiant d'une allocation au logement qui expérimentent la réduction la plus importante du taux de pauvreté dans le quartier où ils résident (Popkin et al, 2009). Les deux études s'accordent pour reconnaître que cette réduction varie d'une ville à l'autre, en raison de l'état du marché du logement, du volume de ménages à relocaliser en même temps et des critères de sélection imposés au retour dans le logement social une fois la réhabilitation terminée.…”

“…Cet écart s'explique par le fait que de nombreux logements sont vacants entre le moment où les occupants en sont évincés et leur démolition. Ils sont alors souvent occupés illégalement, et les sites en transformation enregistrent en général une recrudescence des activités criminelles (Popkin et al, 2009).…”

Le difficile arrimage entre les politiques sociales et la responsabilité individuelle : le cas des politiques du logement aux États-Unis

Les politiques du logement promouvant la production d’un parc immobilier à caractère social ont fait l’objet de nombreuses critiques. Pour y remédier, plusieurs pays ont opté pour des aides directes aux ménages. Les États-Unis illustrent parfaitement ce basculement entre une aide centrée sur la production et la gestion d’ensembles résidentiels à caractère social et celle axée sur les capacités des ménages à se trouver un logement sur le marché privé. Leurs politiques du logement constituent donc un cas particulièrement intéressant à analyser afin de comprendre comment s’opère l’arrimage entre des politiques sociales et la responsabilité individuelle. C’est ce que se propose de faire cet état de la question sur l’utilisation par les ménages de leurs allocations au logement dans le cadre de différents programmes de réhabilitation du parc social et de déconcentration de la pauvreté.Government policies that promote construction of social housing have been widely criticized. In an effort to address this criticism, a number of countries have opted instead to provide direct aid to households. The United States offers a perfect example of this flip-flopping between aid focused on the construction and management of social housing and aid designed to help households find housing on the private market. American housing policies thus constitute a particularly interesting case for analysis in seeking to understand how social policies can be tailored to respect individual responsibility. That is the issue explored in this paper on how households use the housing allowances they receive under various programs designed to refurbish the social housing stock and fight poverty
