Robert M. Silverman, Kelly L. Patterson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 sep 2011
U.S. fair and affordable housing policy has been constrained by neoliberal ideologies that emphasize market-based approaches to program implementation. Public policy aimed at ameliorating housing discrimination and expanding access to housing markets for minorities and the poor has remained underdeveloped, underfunded, and poorly implemented. This edited book adds to our understanding of the trends, outcomes and future directions of fair and affordable housing policy. It is divided into four parts, examining issues of interest to housing scholars and practitioners. Sections include discussions of: fair housing policy, affordable housing finance, equitable approaches to land use, rent vouchers, and homeownership policy. Contributors to the edited volume include experts from the fields of political science, public policy, urban planning, sociology, and social work.

Recenzii

"[...] Fair and Affordable Housing in the US: Trends, Outcomes, Future Directions presents an interesting mix of chapters that are theoretical and reflective (10 out of 13) and empirical (three out of 13)." – Katrin B. Anacker, in: International Journal of Housing Policy 12/4 (2012), pp. 506-509
"Fair and Affordable Housing in the U.S. is very readable and insightful, making it an excellent choice for a housing policy class. The book is now out in paperback and I would certainly recommend it to anyone interested in the background, challenges and current issues surrounding fair and affordable housing." – Deirdre Oakley, in: Journal of Urban Affairs II 35/2 (2013), pp. 250-251
