Housing Subsidies for Refugees Seminar

Experimental Evidence on Life Outcomes and Social Integration in Jordan.

Join us for an insightful discussion on the impact of housing support for refugee communities, and how such programs can shape both individual lives and social cohesion. Hosted by the Institute for Economic Development and John Cabot University, this seminar will focus on the results of a housing assistance program in Jordan.

Sandra Rozo, Senior Economist at the World Bank, will present findings from the study "Housing Subsidies for Refugees: Experimental Evidence on Life Outcomes and Social Integration in Jordan." The research explores how targeted housing assistance for Syrian refugees affected not only their well-being, but also relationships with host communities.

Following the presentation, Professors Sergio Scicchitano and Tulia Gattone of John Cabot University will lead a discussion on the key insights of the report and the policy implications.
