Impact of RAD on Children in HUD Assisted Households Department of Housing and Urban Development

Purpose: The goal of this cooperative agreement is to support research project(s) that will advance scientific knowledge and produce policy-relevant evidence on the implementation of the the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program and its effect on children’s well-being. The applicant should be aware of the major research goals for other studies of RAD and propose a project that enhances, replicates, or complements the larger RAD evaluations or other studies such as the one in Fresno, California.

Proposed projects may seek to answer research questions including but not limited to:

  • How do families see the implications of RAD for families and children?
  • How did the conversion process (relocation, rehabilitation, or construction) affect families and children?
  • For families that stayed at the property after conversion, what is their perception of changes in the physical environment, amenities, and services at the property and how these changes affected children?
  • For families that left the property during or after conversion, when did they move/exit the property, why, and how did the move/exit affect the family and children?
  • Did the family experience vary based on demographic characteristics?
  • Did the family’s experience vary based on conversion to PBV vs PBRA?
  • Did the family’s experience vary based on amount of work completed as part of, or immediately following, conversion?
