The Housing Choice Voucher program (HCV) in the United States was designed to deconcentrate poverty, but has struggled to do so. One strategy currently utilized by housing authorities is to implement a series of outreach programs to engage a broad group of landlords throughout their jurisdictions. Much of the previous literature on the HCV program focuses on its effectiveness in deconcentrating poverty, with little mention of landlords and their role. This thesis utilizes the work of three classic studies on landlords of low-income housing, with the addition of other sources which mention the importance of landlord programming and additional services for the HCV program to be successful in deconcentrating poverty. Through a qualitative study of landlord outreach programming administered by Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA), this thesis seeks to understand the CMHA's methods and gauge their effectiveness. Two methods were used to develop this understanding. The first method was through a series of structured no-participant observations of three types of signature landlord programs administered by CMHA. The second method was through semi-structured interviews with key informants including landlords, CMHA staff, and Housing Opportunities Made Equal Staff (HOME). These interviews were informed by the observation phase and developed an understanding of perceptions on the landlord programming as well as the relationships within and between these groups.
