The program also provides extensive counselling and assistance in the process of finding new homes This superb paper by Dionissi Aliprantis and Stefanie DeLuca @Stefanie_DeLuca document ability of the program to break racial and economic segregations in ways that dwarf what is seen in MTO, for example. They further identify a key reason for the program's efficacy: the BRHP functions at the metro area level, rather than a local one, which dramatically increases the opportunities made available to movers, providing an important general message for policy design.
