Social scientist Bradford Hunt has spent years researching public housing, its impact on communities and the implications of its successes and failures on housing policies. At a symposium at Tulane University on Thursday (March 5), he addressed some of the “big questions” about the relationship between social justice and public housing in various cities.
“As part of the social contract of democracy and equality in the U.S., we need to produce and distribute housing in a socially just way,” Hunt said. Public housing initiatives that address social justice through authentic engagement of community members achieve this goal and ensure quality housing for individuals and families, he added.“As part of the social contract of democracy and equality in the U.S., we need to produce and distribute housing in a socially just way.”—Bradford Hunt, professor, Roosevelt University
