Social and Economic Characteristics of Residents of Public Housing. Participant's Workbook

摘要

The workbook for housing managers on social and economic characteristics of residents of public housing is 1 of 18 in a housing management curriculum developed by HUD to upgrade management skills in HUD-related housing. The workbook has three major goals: to acquaint managers with legislation which has affected the residential composition of public housing, to provide a theoretical background on poverty and its implications, and to acquaint managers with the social and economic characteristics of the disadvantaged poor. The workbook discusses social legislation, financial policies and real estate legislation, a definition of poverty, theories concerning poverty, and characteristics of poor families. A posttest, attitude assessment, and bibliography are included.
