Shelter Poverty cover

Presents the definitive discussion of housing and social justice in the United States. Challenging the conventional definition of housing affordability, this title offers insights about the nature, causes, and consequences of the affordability problem and presents proposals for solving a problem that afflicts one-third of this nation.A progressive plan to solve the problem of housing affordability

"...the most original—and profoundly disturbing—work on the critical issue of housing affordability...."
Chester Hartman, President, Poverty and Race Research Action Council

"Stone identifies many housing reform policies on the way to a right-to-housing that have been enacted at the federal, state and local levels. This gives hope that incremental changes, largely at the grassroots level, may eventually form the basis for more progressive, systematic changes at the national level when a political constituency for such change emerges."
