This study measures the impact of rapidly placing single adults experiencing homelessness in housing programs on future homelessness, crime, and health. Using case worker placement tendencies design and a novel dataset constructed by linking administrative records from multiple public agencies in Los Angeles County, I estimate that rapidly placing individuals in housing programs significantly reduces the likelihood of future return to the homeless support system, crime, andreliance on emergency cash assistance, yet it does not have a detectableeffect on health services utilization. These findings demonstrate thatrapid housing placements can have both rehabilitative and potentiallycost-savings impacts.

In the 1920s, the United States substantially reduced immigration by imposing country-specic entry quotas. We compare local labor markets differentially exposed to the quotas due to variation in the national-origin mix of their immigrant population. US-born work- ers in areas losing immigrants did not benefit relative to workers in less exposed areas. Instead, in urban areas, European immi- grants were replaced with internal migrants and immigrants from Mexico and Canada. By contrast, farmers shifted toward capital- intensive agriculture and the immigrant-intensive mining industry contracted. These differences highlight the uneven effects of the quota system at the local level.
