"Could expanding the earned income tax credit help fix the housing crisis?," co-authored by Katherine Michelmore, assistant professor of public administration and international affairs, was published in the American Sociological Association's Work in Progress blog. Michelmore and co-author Natasha Pilkauskasto found that while the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) did help make housing more affordable, expanding the EITC is unlikely to address the most extreme types of housing instability – homelessness or eviction. 11/13/19
