| 摘要 | Editor’s note: This paper has been updated from the original version posted in May 2017. Abstract While almost all homeless people are poor, most poor people do not experience homelessness. We use a detailed national survey to explore the role of social ties— including connection to relatives, friends and religious community—in explaining why only a subset of poor adults fall into homelessness. We find that lifetime incidence of homelessness is reduced by 64 percent for individuals with strong ties along each of these dimensions. Ties to relatives are most important followed by ties to religious community, while ties to friends have no impact. Strong social ties are almost as important as never relying on public assistance in mitigating the risk of homelessness. Employing a set of childhood indicators as instruments for social ties as adults provides even stronger, though less precisely estimated, impacts of ties to relatives and religious community. We also find that among currently low-income individuals, social ties are not associated with income, providing further evidence that our results are not explained by unobserved variation in historical depth of poverty that is potentially correlated with our measures of social ties.
