This report explores housing and school segregation, emphasizing the lack of coordination in related policies. It covers integration approaches in education and housing, like student assignment plans and mobility programs. Recommendations include collaborative efforts at different levels of government, incorporating school data into housing programs, funding magnet schools in public housing redevelopment, and testing for school-based steering in fair housing initiatives. The report also urges fair housing groups to address the link between housing and school segregation.
