Highlights

[edit]
Affordable housing = 25% of income

Questions to address and help add information

[edit]
  • How was this standard set?
  • Who was against the passage?
  • Was there public input?
  • How did the implementation phase go?
  • Is anyone looking at addressing this or modifying it?
  • How could this be changed in the future, amended by Presidents? 35% vote in congress?
  • Why was this change enacted?
  • Was this part of a campaign promise or an effort to fix a large social problem? Chermsmeyer (talk) 17:42, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Critique:

[edit]

Forbes.com "how senator brooke helped destroy public housing"

  • Decreased funds for management => physical degridation. As tenant funds decreased, HUD subsidy ^^
  • Work disincentive for the poor.

The atlantic "The power of public housing"

  • public-housing authorities couldn't collect sufficient funds to maintain healthy living standards. Restating Goetz. Blames white flight, civil rights act 64.
  • Drove working families out of the project
