Talk of the Nation on National Public Radio will be hosting a show on public housing programing in the wake of Atlanta Housing Authority opening their waiting list. If you’d like to hear a national overview of program perceptions this should be an interesting and valuable show.
Here is the link to the Talk of the Nation story on low-income housing:

About the show:
Affordable Housing Dwindles As Need Grows - August 16, 2010
Guests: Dean Faust, Adjunct Professor Of Journalism, Emory University; Linda Couch, Senior Vice President For Policy, National Low Income Housing Coalition
Overview: Funding for low-income housing has been falling for years. And nationwide, many public housing units have been torn down. The wait for housing vouchers in some cities can now last a decade, just as the recession has left more Americans struggling to pay the rent.
