- Poor Families and Poor Housing: The Search for Decent Housing in Virginia's Private, Unassisted MarketKoebel, C. Theodore; Rives, Mary Ellen (Virginia Center for Housing Research, 1993-06)This report explores the differences in housing conditions between those U.S. families who receive various forms of public assistance and those who do not.

For some even combining assistance from several sources is often inadequate compared with the cost of housing.
- Design Guidelines for Downtown NarrowsGilboy, Elizabeth; Budic, Zorica; Denise, Alexander; Rich, Bourbonnaise; Karla, Brock; Chaya, Prabhu (Virginia Tech. Community Design Assistance Center, 1993-12-31)Similar to many communities across the country, the town of Narrows' Commercial District has been experiencing economic and physical decline for quite some time. A recent survey suggests that over half of all commercial, office, and industrial space in downtown Narrows is presently either vacant or underutilized (Archambault 1992). Downtown revitalization has been a successful response to decaying physical and economic environments in many towns and cities across the country. Alone, downtown improvements will not solve the economic problems of the district. However, they represent a necessary and important step in the economic revitalization process (Archambault 1992). This report includes three sections, which address design guideline recommendations for the Town of Narrows, as well as the background materials that informed their process of development.

This report explores the post retirement residential preferences of Virginia Tech graduates from years 1946-1961.
