Published in May 2010, this report is a seminal text that documents the effects of neo-liberal economic policies which have fostered disinvestment, demolition, and privatization of government provided affordable housing. The report counters the underlying premise of the deconcentration theory by providing evidence that the problems with public housing are due to lack of resources and services in low-income communities, rather than simply the concentration of low-income people.
