ReviewsAn incredibly valuable book that explains everything that is impacting local housing markets. It links together a variety of programs, policies, and initiatives that have been used to promote the construction of affordable housing--many that are unknown by both students and policymakers. Hanchett's writing is easy to read and understand while also being incredibly well researched.--Kenneth Chilton, Tennessee State University, Affordable Housing in Charlotte is engaging, well crafted, and immaculately sourced, making it an impressive piece of scholarly work. The writing is framed such that this deep-historical analysis will also appeal to a wider audience concerned with our current affordable housing difficulties. This is an outstanding contribution to the fields of housing studies and urban geography.--Bill Graves, University of North Carolina at Charlotte

SynopsisLocally, regionally, and nationally, the lack of affordable housing is an urgent and ongoing issue. As elected officials rush to ramp up aid for the construction of affordable apartments, scholars and policymakers are asking how our present system of housing subsidies-both its strengths and its shortcomings-came into being. In this book, Thomas W. Hanchett takes a case-study approach, tracking low-rent housing in the growing city of Charlotte, North Carolina, from the beginnings of public housing circa 1940 to the present. Looking beyond policy battles in Washington, Hanchett tells an intimate history of how federal initiatives played out on the ground, making clear connections between the creation of federal housing programs and how agencies interacted with local and state forces to actually produce housing. Using Charlotte as a lens, Hanchett shows in detail how power brokers have clashed on all levels of government and yet have the ability to empower both citizens and elected officials to take action toward better housing for all, in North Carolina's most populous city and beyond., Locally, regionally, and nationally, the lack of affordable housing is an urgent and ongoing issue.
