Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Moving to Opportunity program was designed to test the effects of providing families living in high-poverty housing projects with housing vouchers to move to lower-poverty neighborhoods. It was a randomized social experiment, meaning families were randomly selected to receive the vouchers, distinguishing it from options that suggest pre-selection or focus on other forms of assistance like health care or education.
