SynopsisAn analysis of the origins, nature, and direction of attacks lodged against fair and affordable housing policy in the U.S., U.S. fair and affordable housing policy has been constrained by neoliberal ideologies that emphasize market-based approaches to program implementation. Public policy aimed at ameliorating housing discrimination and expanding access to housing markets for minorities and the poor has remained underdeveloped, underfunded, and poorly implemented.
