A DECENT HOME FOR EVERY AMERICAN: CAN THE 1949 GOAL BE MET? |
71 North Carolina Law Review 1619 (June, 1993) |
If one were looking for an image to dramatize the severity of the contemporary housing crisis in America, two stories in the Sunday, November 22, 1992 edition of the New York Times would be strong contenders. The Metro section reported that a state supreme court justice in Manhattan ordered four New York City officials to spend the night on the... |

A UNIVERSAL SOLUTION TO THE MINORITY HOUSING PROBLEM |
71 North Carolina Law Review 1557 (June, 1993) |
Although health care, welfare reform, and the economy have captured the lion's share of attention at the outset of the Clinton era, housing ought to be an equally critical issue. But it is not. Relatively little was said about housing during the 1992 election campaign, and it is noteworthy that Mandate for Change, the intellectual-political... |

AT THE PRESIDENT'S SIDE: THE ROLE OF THE WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL IN CONSTITUTIONAL POLICY |
56-AUT Law and Contemporary Problems 63 (Autumn, 1993) |
Whatever else it achieved in its first months in office, the Clinton Administration made U.S. citizens more aware of the White House Counsel's Office.

CAN THE KERNER COMMISSION'S HOUSING STRATEGY IMPROVE EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION, AND SOCIAL INTEGRATION FOR LOW-INCOME BLACKS? |
71 North Carolina Law Review 1519 (June, 1993) |
The Kerner Commission placed a heavy emphasis on racial integration, calling it the only course which explicitly seeks to achieve a single nation rather than accepting the present movement toward a dual society.

CAVEAT SPIRITUS: A JURISPRUDENTIAL REFLECTION UPON THE LAW OF HAUNTED HOUSES AND GHOSTS |
28 Valparaiso University Law Review 207 (Fall, 1993) |

This court... |

13 Boston College Third World Law Journal 87 (Winter, 1993) |
We have reached that point in our society's evolution where, in order to extend Fourth Amendment protection to the homeless to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures of their personal property, we must also recognize our society's acceptance of the existence and conditions of homelessness.

To achieve this purpose, the framers of the United States Constitution enacted the Fourth Amendment, which includes a search and seizure clause and a warrant clause: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against... |

COUNTY POWERS IN ASSISTED HOUSING PROGRAMS: THE CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITS IN NEW YORK |
20 Fordham Urban Law Journal 109 (Winter, 1993) |
For some seventy years, and through at least as many programs, governments at the federal, state or local level have contributed to the cost of housing the poor in New York State.

A quarter century after the passage of the Fair Housing Act of 1968 (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968), the American landscape remains marked by racial segregation.

IMPROVING GOVERNMENT-ASSISTED HOUSING PROGRAMS |
1 Georgetown Journal on Fighting Poverty 49 (1993) |
As part of the Clinton administration's anti-poverty initiatives, the repair of government-owned and-assisted housing should be a top priority. This will create desperately needed jobs, often in areas with the greatest unemployment, and will protect and enhance the enormous investment of tax dollars the government already has put into such housing.... |

INTEGRATION VERSUS ANTIDISCRIMINATION: WHICH POLICY SHOULD PREVAIL WHEN APPLYING THE FAIR HOUSING ACT? |
24 Memphis State University Law Review 33 (Fall, 1993) |
Americans live in a society marked by racial segregation now more than any time in history. Often, those rare neighborhoods that appear integrated are merely fluctuating from one racial identity to another.
