Living on the Other Side of the Tracks: An Investigation of Public Housing Stereotypes

Abstract: Many ascribe to the concept of "home sweet home"; however, this is an increasingly elusive end state. The economic recession and depressed housing market have resulted in unprecedented numbers of displaced homeowners and an insufficient supply of affordable housing options. As a result of these circumstances, the homeless rate in the United States is at an all-time high, and many jurisdictions report long waiting lists for temporary shelters and subsidized, or "public," housing.
