Housing as a response to poverty : poverty and the definition of housing need / submitted by: Ekos Research Associates Inc.; David M. Black, author and principal investigator. : NH15-897/1996E-PDF

"Over the past decade governments have begun to rethink traditional approaches to the provision of social security. One element of this rethinking is to emphasize policy and program designs that encourage individual initiative within partnerships where one or more of the partners can be a government department or agency. These initiatives often have a goal to increase an individual's self sufficiency or independence. If housing subsidies are used as a key element (i.e.,housing is used as a means in the amelioration of poverty) in such a policy then what implications, if any, does this have for the traditional definition of housing need? After reviewing the definition of core housing need the paper looks at the impact of using a causal analysis of poverty as an approach to define need"--Executive summary.
