Article Abstract:
Various periods of US history have been marked by several housing problems characterized primarily by dislocation, displacement, and other economic and social variables. Government has generally established piecemeal solutions for these problems.

US housing policy at the crossroads: rebuilding the housing constituency
Article Abstract:
The Clinton administration faces a major issue in the development of a clear federal housing policy. An allotment of $113 billion a year for progressive housing must be accompanied by a program to expand and strengthen the constituency. Government should also reorganize the US Dept. of Housing and Urban Development, which has been subject of elimination by some members of Congress.
