Housing in Rural America
Building Affordable and Inclusive Communities


Other Titles in:
Planning (General)

January 1999 | 230 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc
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.
Robert J Wiener and Joseph N Belden
