Book Description:
|
The often-overlooked area of housing policy - decent and affordable shelter for the rural poor - is the focus of this book. After a definition of "rural" and a description of the state of rural housing and poverty in the United States, the book goes on to examine in detail especially distressed populations and regions; look at housing credit needs and resources, and conclude with distinctly rural solutions to the housing problem.
