"Poor Families and Poor Housing: The Search for Decent Housing in Virginia's Private, Unassisted Market," Virginia Center for Housing Research Blacksburg, VA 24061, June 1993.http://hdl.handle.net/10919/48633This report explores the differences in housing conditions between those U.S. families who receive various forms of public assistance and those who do not.
