MINORITIES PAY MORE FOR MORTGAGES, STUDIES FIND |
42-SEP Trial 77 (September, 2006) |
Lenders charge minority borrowers higher mortgage rates than white borrowers, even when risk factors are the same, according to studies of the latest data collected under the 1975 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), which requires lending institutions to report public loan information.

NO SIMPLE SOLUTIONS: HOUSING CHA'S MOST VULNERABLE FAMILIES |
1 Northwestern Journal of Law & Social Policy 148 (Summer, 2006) |
By the late 1980s, the Chicago Housing Authority's (CHA's) family developments were a disaster. Years of managerial incompetence and neglect had left the housing in an advanced state of decay. The crime and violence were overwhelming and the gang dominance nearly absolute. Thousands of vulnerable families--with tens of thousands of children--lived... |

Imagine a situation in which a burglar enters a home and robs it for the purpose of obtaining material possessions. He or she has selected the home simply because it was an easy target; he or she knows nothing about the inhabitants of the home, including their race, gender, or religious preference.

PROPERTIES OF CONCENTRATION |
73 University of Chicago Law Review 1227 (Fall, 2006) |
Concentrated poverty is costly. Indeed, its negative effects on education, safety, and the overall life chances of children may be large enough to outweigh any gains produced at the high end of residential stratification. If this is so, then the process of residential grouping is not a zero-sum game, and collective action problems in residential... |

Shortly after the Katrina hurricane, David Broder observed that the capacity of affluent white Americans to put aside lasting concern about those isolated from mainstream society by poverty and race is almost limitless. Perhaps this is so because many Americans assume that the consequences of the isolation are confined to the isolated. If more... |

RELOCATING FROM THE DISTRESS OF CHICAGO PUBLIC HOUSING TO THE DIFFICULTIES OF THE PRIVATE MARKET: HOW THE MOVE THREATENS TO PUSH FAMILIES AWAY FROM OPPORTUNITY |
1 Northwestern Journal of Law & Social Policy 267 (Summer, 2006) |
The rapid public housing transformation in Chicago subjects many vulnerable families to the demands of the private housing market. Too often former public housing residents are not prepared to face the private market and the private market is not ready and willing to accept them.

THE PARADOX OF THE DRUG ELIMINATION PROGRAM IN NEW YORK CITY PUBLIC HOUSING |

In recent years, violence and public housing have been closely linked in political and popular cultures; to many, public housing symbolizes the dangers of inner city urban life. Built mainly in the 1950s and 1960s to assist the poor and working poor to escape slum conditions, most housing projects are clusters of high-rise towers that were placed... |
