Housing and Community Development in New York City

Author: Michael H Schill

Leading housing scholars and practitioners provide a comprehensive, up-to-date description and analysis of housing and community development policy as they examine one of America's largest and most important cities. Housing and Community Development in New York City comprehensively explores a full range of policy issues including the analysis of current housing problems and demographics; examination of federally supported housing assistance programs such as public housing and Section 8; scrutiny of the City's response to homelessness and the abandonment of private sector housing; and a look at New York's innovative program to rebuild neighborhoods with public-private partnerships.

Early chapters examine factors affecting supply and demand for housing in New York City, describe the housing tenure system, and explain how the city's regulatory environment deters new construction. Later chapters examine government intervention in New York City's housing market, and analyze the city's Housing Court and problems of homelessness. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
