Ms. Samuels -- and other experts -- say Moving to Opportunity notched limited economic benefits in part because the housing vouchers were too small for families to move to truly middle-class communities with better schools. For example, under the Baltimore Housing Mobility Program, Ms. Oliver was able to leave Baltimore altogether and move to Anne Arundel County, something she couldn't have done under the Moving to Opportunity initiative.
塞缪尔斯和其他的专家都认为,“搬家寻找新机会只能在某种程度上让参与者在经济上获益。因为对于那些想搬进真正的中产阶级社区、享受优质教育服务的家庭而言,住房补贴券只是杯水车薪。举例来说,正是有了巴尔的摩流动住房计划,奥利弗全家才得以从巴尔的摩市搬到安娜·阿伦德郡(Anne Arundel County),而“搬家寻找新机会项目在这一点上根本帮不了她。
Harvard economist Lawrence Katz, one of the study's authors, agreed that most families in the study hadn't been able to move to better school districts, as initially hoped. And he said that other programs, such as ones that offer job training, have been able to boost people's earnings.
此次研究的作者之一、哈佛大学经济学家劳伦斯·卡茨(Lawrence Katz)也认同研究对象中的大多数家庭都没能够如愿搬进更好的学区。他说,是其它一些项目(如提供职业培训的项目)帮助参与者提高了收入。
