As chronicled in New Deal Ruins, however, housing policy since the 1990's has turned to the demolition of public housing in favor of subsidized units in mixed-income communities and the use of tenant-based vouchers rather than direct housing subsidies. While these policies, articulated in the HOPE VI program begun in 1992, aimed to improve the social and economic conditions of urban residents, the results have been quite different. As Edward G. Goetz shows, hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced and there has been a loss of more than 250,000 permanently affordable residential units. Goetz offers a critical analysis of the nationwide effort to dismantle public housing by focusing on the impact of policy changes in three cities: Atlanta, Chicago, and New Orleans. Goetz shows how this transformation is related to pressures of gentrification and the enduring influence of race in American cities. African Americans have been disproportionately affected by this policy shift; it is the cities in which public housing is most closely identified with minorities that have been the most aggressive in removing units. Goetz convincingly refutes myths about the supposed failure of public housing. He offers an evidence-based argument for renewed investment in public housing to accompany housing choice initiatives as a model for innovative and equitable housing policy. 606 $aPublic housing$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aHousing policy$zUnited States 606 $aRelocation (Housing)$zUnited States 606 $aUrban policy$zUnited States 615 0$aPublic housing$xGovernment policy 615 0$aHousing policy 615 0$aRelocation (Housing) 615 0$aUrban policy 676 $a363.5/5610973 700 $aGoetz$b Edward G$g(Edward Glenn),$f1957-$0253208 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817876903321 996 $aNew Deal ruins$94085113 997 $aUNINA
