Abstract: “We find that an eviction order increases homelessness, and reduces earnings, durable consumption, and access to credit. Effects on housing and labor market outcomes are driven by impacts for female and Black tenants.”

School districts committed to empowering families with actionable, accessible information in support of student success should consider not only what digital communications tools they use, but how they are made available.

Because students skip school with friends, social network maps can help target truancy interventions and reduce class absences.

Automated text messages to parents show major promise for boosting school attendance and grades at a low cost to districts.
