This policy brief provides a review of the social science evidence on the housing-school nexus, highlighting the problem of reoccurring racial segregation and inequality absent strong, proactive federal or state integration policies. Three areas of research are covered: (a) the nature of the housing-school nexus; (b) the impact of school desegregation and housing integration policies on the nexus; and (c) the connection between the implicit racial biases literature (the "perceptions of place") to research on school and housing choices. (A list of notes and references is included.)
