Rural Voices: 30 Years of Fair Housing in Rural America
The Summer 1998 issue of Rural Voices is dedicated to highlighting these fair housing and NIMBY issues.
First, an article by a national fair housing nonprofit organization provides an overview of the fair housing movement in this country and its impact. Other articles describe the approaches adopted by the state of California and a local nonprofit in Oregon to combat NIMBY opposition to affordable housing projects. An interview with Eva Plaza, assistant secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity at the Depmtment of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) , is also included.
