Showing how current housing policies and housing needs are diametrically opposed, the authors analyze more than two hundred new state, national and international housing efforts to derive a plan that will meet the challenge of U.S. housing and demographic trends in the 1990s. <p>Projecting the special needs of young families, single-parent families, and low- and moderate-income families in the 1990s David Schwartz, Richard Ferlauto, and Daniel Hoffman propose new roles for non-profit organizations and employers. Their new plan advocates a federal down payment assistance loan program, a lease purchase home-buying program, an employer-assisted homeownership plan, a mortgage interest rate buydown fund, shared-equity mortgages, a new National Housing Investment Corporation, and a Federal Housing Trust Fund to construct needed rental units. In addition, special programs are suggested to provide housing help to elderly people, single-parent families, and the homeless. <BR> <h2>Reviews</h2> <p><I>"The best discussion I have seen on the political and economic bases for housing solutions, it shows a cost-effective means of dealing with homelessness and the housing needs of the elderly, single parents, and other housing-poor groups."</I> <br>&#151<b>Julian Wolpert</b>, Princeton University <p><I>"A compelling case for housing construction as the centerpiece of economic development strategies in urban America.

It should be read by mayors, business leaders, and housing advocates interested in making housing a federal priority once again."</I> <br>&#151<b>Raymond Flynn</b>, Mayor of Boston <BR> <H2>About the Author(s)</H2> <P><b>David C.
