In 1973, President Nixon halted new construction of public housing, claiming that the U.S. government had become "the biggest slumlord in history." Four decades earlier, in the depths of the Great Depression, strong political support for federally-subsidized low-income housing had resulted in the Housing Act of 1937. By the 1950s, growing criticism of the housing constructed by local authorities and prejudice against poor residents--particularly African Americans--fueled opposition to new projects. This book documents the lively and wide-ranging national debate over public housing from the New Deal to Nixon.

HUD spends $7 billion annually to provide decent, safe, and sanitary housing for low-income households in 14,000 rental prop. admin. by 3,000 public housing authorities (PHA). Yet many public housing prop. have been unsafe and unsanitary for several decades. To identify and correct these and other problems, HUD has begun to implement the Public Housing Assess. System for evaluating PHA performance. This report: identifies HUD's criteria for designating PHA as troubled and as high risk; describes the kinds of problems found at PHA; and identifies HUD's options for addressing problems at PHA, regardless of whether they have been designated as troubled, and examples of the options HUD has used at non-troubled PHA that pose high risks. Charts and tables.
