Co-located schools appear to offer lunch at more unusual hours than stand-alone schools. Staggering lunch hours between schools sharing a cafeteria is a common practice of administrative discretion, which may result in lower take-up especially for low-income students.
We donāt find staggered breakfast hours nor dampened effects of Breakfast in the Classroom (BIC) on breakfast take-up due to shared buildings. Decentralizing locations of school meal service (from cafeteria to classrooms) may serve as effective policy levers in such settings.

NYCHA has a long waiting list, making the precise timing of public housing offers and entry hard to predict. We exploit this plausibly random variation in timing of moves to identify the causal effects of public housing on students.
Moving into public housing improves test score over time, with stalled performance in the entry year. Improvements are larger for kids who move to better neighborhoods and schools, compared to their baseline. Residential stability and sufficient neighborhood resources may be key.
Are public housing projects good for kids after all? Our new paper (with @AmySchwartzNY) @JPAM_DC says yes!
We find new evidence that moving into public housing improves academic outcomes of children.
