- Summary:
-
To what extent did the Federal Housing Act of 1966 impact on the housing conditions of urban African-American families? Three decades later, this extensive study seeks to evaluate the results of the most comprehensive urban development program ever passed by Congress (the Demonstration Cities and Metropolitan Development Act of 1966) whose primary intent was the revitalization of inner American cities, where a majority of urban African-American live. After providing a thorough review of federal housing policy in the twentieth century, Dr. King analyses the social, political and economic factors that shaped the Demonstration Cities and Metropolitan Development Act of 1966, discusses its implementation, and evaluates the influence of the act on the lives of African-Americans.
A comprehensive survey of American housing policy, this major study offers thought-provoking conclusions on the distribution of resources in the United States and an overall evaluation of federal housing policy that will be of interest to all involved in African-American studies and sociology as well as public policy.
