OUR TOP 5 PICKS FOR THE QUARTER Stay informed and entertained by this quarter’s media choices reflecting on aspects of affordable housing, social justice, and other relevant topics. 1. Watch this: Urchin On the streets of London, aged out of foster care, Mike is hustling to get by. Roadside evangelizers won't let him sleep in peace, his slippery friend won't pay up the money he stole, and before long, he finds himself in trouble with the law.

Read this: The Projects: A New History of Public Housing How housing policy failed the people it was designed to help—and how to fix it As the US struggles to provide affordable housing, millions of Americans live in deteriorating public housing projects, enduring the mistakes of past housing policy. In The Projects , Howard A. Husock explains how we got here, detailing the tragic rise and fall of public housing and the pitfalls of other subsidy programs. 3.
