Title: The Reagan approach to housing
Date: 1987
Summary: There have been marked changes in the Federal Government's role in housing since 1981.

But many of the housing programs in place in 1981 were essentially incompatible with the philosophy of the Reagan team. This paper identifies some of the major changes brought about or proposed by this Administration and the rationale for these efforts.
