Abstract
Efforts by the Reagan administration to discontinue production and to reduce the existing stock of public housing raise the question whether the nation needs a program that subsidizes the public ownership of rental housing. In this article I examine the advantages of the public housing program and its problems, then describe and analyze Reagan administration efforts to reduce the public housing stock. I also discuss the prospects for development of new public housing and suggest that community development organizations be viewed as desirable sponsors of public housing.Keywords
