Geography Urban Planning Affordable Housing Social Networks Community Development Columbus Over the past five decades a host of housing policies have been implemented with the aim of redressing racial segregation and breaking up areas of concentrated poverty. Many of these efforts, known as dispersal policies, attempt to relocate residents from areas of high poverty to higher income areas. However, many of these programs have met with dubious success. Some studies suggest that housing location choice and successful relocation is strongly dependent on social ties to the relocatees’ home communities, and little is known about how prevalent the desire to relocate is in low income communities or what motivates people to participate in relocation programs. This thesis uses mixed methods to examine the housing situations, neighborhood attitudes, and social networks of residents of the Linden neighborhood in Columbus, Ohio. The results suggest that many residents feel attached to their community, even if they struggle with housing instability or would like to have higher quality housing. This is due in part to social ties within the community and in part to a general sense of comfort and familiarity with the neighborhood. To the extent that people are motivated to relocate, that motivation has more to do with a desire to find better housing than a desire to live in a different neighborhood. Implications for policy and future research are discussed. 2014-06-24 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1397226623 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1397226623 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
