In his new book 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. He takes us inside a progressive movement led by a group of New York City philanthropists\, politicians\, and business magnates who first championed public housing as a solution to urban blight. \nYet despite the movement’s lofty ideals\, the creation of the Projects led to the destruction of low-income communities across the country. Husock connects the history of public housing with contemporary debates on the government’s role in the housing market. Through interviews with residents\, he reveals how public housing transformed the lives of Americans and the physical faces of cities and towns. Mapping out a better path for policy-makers\, he lays a new foundation for upward mobility in America. \nAfter his talk\, Howard Husock will engage in dialogue with Nicholas Dagen Bloom\, Professor of Urban Policy and Planning at Hunter College and author of several histories of housing. \nTo register for this FREE program\, click on the link above to RSVP. You will be redirected to Ticketstripe to reserve your seat. In-person attendance is limited to 50 people\, but you can still watch the program live on our YouTube channel when it begins at 6pm. You do NOT need to register for the YouTube livestream. \nHoward A.

Husock is Senior Fellow in Domestic Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute and the author of many books\, including America’s Trillion-Dollar Housing Policy Mistake: The Failure of American Housing Policy\, The Poor Side of Town: And Why We Need It\, Who Killed Civil Society? The Rise of Big Government and Decline of Bourgeois Norms\, and Philanthropy Under Fire. Husock has received many awards for his work as a documentary film producer\, including the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award\, a National News and Documentary Emmy Award\, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting award.
