Agenda for a New Economy: Does public housing have a future?

The federal government has destroyed tens of thousands of public housing units in the last decade and is considering a plan that would push more people into the private housing market with vouchers. Why have even liberals turned their back on building housing for the poor? And what are the results for the people who depend on the government for a place to live? You can join us live at 11 or drop us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. What's future of public housing? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
