This book was released on 1980 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many serious housing and community development problems face the United States during the 1980's. The number of households will increase 19 percent during the 1980's, placing greater demand on the housing supply. Americans continue to migrate to the South and West, and increasingly to rural areas. Population redistribution is responsible for a wide range of present urban problems, such as the concentration of disadvantaged groups within central cities. Rural problems, such as inadequate public facilities and services, are also created. Three broad areas of concern that have guided the Federal Government's participation in housing and community development include the recognition that it had: (1) a responsibility to maintain and promote economic stability; (2) a social obligation to help provide for those in need; and (3) an emerging interest in how the nation's communities develop. Two fundamental policies that the Government is concerned with are the private home financing system and Government-subsidized housing for low-income families. The Government's concern over community growth and development has steadily expanded to include neighborhoods, entire cities, counties, and preplanned new communities. These efforts have been designed to assist cities solve urban problems and to encourage them to develop more orderly, attractive, and livable communities. Attention has also been focused on increasing the quality of life in rural communities. Federal housing programs during the 1980's must deal with: (1) the need for over two million new housing starts each year to meet the growing and mobile population and the changing lifestyles; (2) the need to slow down the rapid increases in the cost to construct, operate, and finance housing; (3) the increased need to provide housing for lower income persons, since housing deprivation is changing from a problem of physical inadequacies to that of excessive cost; and (4) the need to preserve the existing housing stock because it is unlikely the construction industry can meet the future housing needs through new construction. The basic continuing community development problems facing the United States include: (1) the need to provide immediate assistance to the most troubled cities and communities, which should be targeted to help cities restructure their economies and better adapt to change; (2) the need to help all cities offer their residents decent services, adequate jobs, sound neighborhoods, good housing, and healthy environments; (3) the need to minimize community losses due to catastrophes; (4) the presence of disorderly, uneconomic, and antisocial patterns of development and land use in the nation; (5) the increase in fiscal and political fragmentation resulting in an aggravating mismatch of needs and resources; (5) the lag in development of community facilities in rural areas and areas experiencing rapid growth; and (6) citizen alienation and/or apathy in the face of ineffective governmental action.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book explores the promise and limits of bottom-up, grass-roots strategies of community organizing, development, and planning as blueprints for successful revitalization and maintenance of urban neighborhoods. Peterman proposes conditions that need to be met for bottom-up strategies to succeed. Successful neighborhood development depends not only on local actions, but also on the ability of local groups to marshal resources and political will at levels above that of the neighborhood itself. While he supports community-based initiatives, he argues that there are limits to what can be accomplished exclusively at the grassroots level, where most efforts fail"--Back cover.

Download or read book Where are Poor People to Live written by Larry Bennett and published by M.E. Sharpe. This book was released on 2006 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking book shows how major shifts in federal policy are spurring local public housing authorities to demolish their high-rise, low-income developments, and replace them with affordable low-rise, mixed income communities. It focuses on Chicago, and that city's affordable housing crisis, but it provides analytical frameworks that can be applied to developments in every American city. "Where Are Poor People to Live?" provides valuable new empirical information on public housing, framed by a critical perspective that shows how shifts in national policy have devolved the U.S. welfare state to local government, while promoting market-based action as the preferred mode of public policy execution. The editors and chapter authors share a concern that proponents of public housing restructuring give little attention to the social, political, and economic risks involved in the current campaign to remake public housing. At the same time, the book examines the public housing redevelopment process in Chicago, with an eye to identifying opportunities for redeveloping projects and building new communities across America that will be truly hospitable to those most in need of assisted housing. While the focus is on affordable housing, the issues addressed here cut across the broad policy areas of housing and community development, and will impact the entire field of urban politics and planning.
