Mobility’s Potential Negative Impact on Children
• Moving residences• Grade retention, hinder school completion, and
a lack of interpersonal skills• Reactive moves are more detrimental than
strategic moves• Switching schools
• Decreased academic performance, especially for young children
• Social, behavioral, and interpersonal problems• Schools with large student mobility tend to
perform worse as well
URBAN INSTITUTE
Research Questions
• Description and trends of students affected by foreclosure
• Determine whether foreclosure impacts:
• Residential mobility and school switching
• Difference in quality between origin and destination neighborhoods and schools
• Individual students’ test scores (Baltimore only)
URBAN INSTITUTE
Data Sources• Student-level data (2003-04 through 2008-09)
• Demographics, residence, academic outcomes
• School-level data (2003-04 through 2008-09)• Demographics, location, average school test
scores
• Foreclosure data (2002-2009)• Neighborhood-level data (2000, recent)
URBAN INSTITUTE
Definition for Students Affected by Foreclosure
• Foreclosure process– Notice/lis pendens, modification, sale, lender takes ownership
• Study identified children living in households that receive foreclosure notice or lis pendens– Very beginning of the foreclosure process
• Length of time to complete foreclosure process varies by site

Difference in Mean Test Scores of Origin and Destination Schools
• Difference in Mean Test Scores of Origin and Destination Schools
• In NYC, students who moved to new schools after a foreclosure tended to move to lower-performing schools.
• In DC, foreclosed students moved to schools that were similar to their origin school.
• In Baltimore, foreclosed students went to slightly higher performing schools than where they started.
URBAN INSTITUTE
Difference in Mean Test ScoresControlling for Student Characteristics
• Multivariate findings
• Baltimore and New York: the change in school quality was no more dramatic than that for other non-foreclosed students.
• DC: Some evidence that the decline in school quality experienced by children in DC moving post foreclosure was more dramatic than that experienced by other moves.

Neighborhood Characteristics• In District of Columbia
• Students affected by foreclosure started in neighborhoods that were more distressed than those of all students.
• A move associated with foreclosure (vs. other reasons) did not significantly effect the quality difference between the old and new neighborhoods.
• In Baltimore
• Opposite findings about origin area– students in foreclosed homes live in less distressed neighborhoods than all students.
• Destination neighborhoods for students in foreclosure were similar on 4 measures, but had higher juvenile arrest rates.

Children and the Foreclosure Crisis
Policy Implications
URBAN INSTITUTE
Summary of Findings
• Foreclosure harms public school children by increasing chance of school and housing instability.
• Neighborhood changes similar to those of other movers.
• Those students who switch schools (for any reason) end up in lower-performing schools in New York City.
• Foreclosure should be viewed in context of all residential & school instability – small piece of the whole picture.
URBAN INSTITUTE
Local Action
• Review school policy and practice for requiring children who move out-of-boundary mid-year to change schools.
• Improve identification of children who become homeless and qualify for McKinney-Vento benefits and protections.
• Partner with housing counselors to do financial education outreach.
• Inform families who have to move about school policies, support services, and the potential negative effects of school instability on their children’s education.
