Housing And Children's Health
The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) is the US federal government's
primary policy for financing new affordable rental housing. Nearly 29
percent, or approximately 557,000, of the LIHTC units house children.
In their article in the June 2022 issue of Health Affairs, Sarah
Gensheimer and colleagues used a nationally representative data set to
examine whether health care access and health status among children
living in LIHTC properties
are better than those of other low income children.
Their findings with respect to health care access and health status were
mixed. Children living in LIHTC properties had a higher predicted
probability of having a well-child visit in the past twelve months and a
dental visit in the past six months.
However, these children also had a higher predicted probability of
chronic school absenteeism and current asthma - results that surprised
Gensheimer and colleagues.
For more on this topic, revisit our past Health Policy Briefs
, including one about using the
Low-Income Housing Tax Credit to fill the rental housing gap
