Low-Income Housing discussion on Justice Talking

THIS WEEK: Low-Income Housing
     Homeownership in America is at an all-time high. But low- and moderate-income families with children are less likely to own a home now than they were in the 1970s. In recent years, government aid for housing has also changed significantly. High-rise public housing projects have given way to new approaches where low-income residents are provided vouchers for the private market or live in mixed-income developments. On this edition of Justice Talking we look at the governmental policies that affect low-income housing.
     Guests include NICOLAS RETSINAS, director of Harvard University's Joint Center for Housing Studies; BARBARA SARD, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities' housing policy director; DANILO PELLETIERE, the National Low Income Housing Coalition's research director; and ORLANDO CABRERA, assistant secretary for public and Indian housing at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
