Experts Debate How to Remedy the Thorny Tangle of Race and Public Housing
Urban Institute"Public Housing and the Legacy of Segregation," by Urban Institute researchers Margery Austin Turner, Susan J. Popkin, and Lynette A. Rawlings, explores how public housing reform policies could overcome the persistent disadvantages facing black communities and black families and whether ignoring these disadvantages may undermine the long-term vision for public housing's transformation. The three Institute authors and a dozen contributors recount the history of racial segregation in public housing, highlight the consequences, and debate remedies.
