Session 13 Housing and Community Development

Who do I think is poor in the US and Globally? This is not a main topic of Session 13.

Why do I think US and globally is poor? Also not a main topic of Session 13.

What do I think is being done about poverty? In session 13, there were many acts mentioned, such as the housing act of 1937, housing and community development act of 1974, community reinvestment act, and much much more. These acts helped to eliminate unsafe housing conditions, benefit low and moderate income persons, and make loans, respectively.

How well is poverty being addressed?  In this session, poverty is being addressed pretty well since there are so many ways and opportunities for low income people to benefit, such as the reinvestment act. The only thing is that some former residents of public housing still face challenges such as: poverty and unemployment.

What do I think should be done? I like the housing choice voucher because they help low income families purchase better homes, and form this, the children that move into better homes are less likely to be involved in violent crimes, and they may also improve in education and knowledge.
