Abstract
This article reviews literature on the resident management of public housing that is synchronous with the attention it received in the late 1970s and 1980s. The earliest research emphasized the improvement of routine management functions and typically questioned the widespread feasibility of resident management. Objectives covered in later research included self-reliance, community and economic development, and homeownership. This literature proposes variables that affect the success or failure of resident management and other alternatives to conventional public housing management. Two major research needs remain: a framework to examine the interaction of factors that determine resident management outcomes and a comparative analysis of other options that address issues common to resident management.Keywords
