Abstract

In this study, public documents, zoning maps, and government correspondence are used to examine how local, state, and federal housing policy maintained segregated and blighted low-income housing along Palm Beach County's I-95 corridor. Since the 1960s, federal housing subsidies were cut and responsibility for provision of affordable housing devolved upon local officials. Additionally, state officials were stagnated by discussions of the role of government in the provision of affordable housing. At the local level, land-use patterns and ineffective use of federal programs prevented the expansion of housing opportunities for minorities and the poor, thereby maintaining racial and socioeconomic segregation.
