| Description |
This 1974 publication seeks to give an overview of the housing situation in North Carolina’s Region B, encompassing Buncombe, Henderson, Madison, and Transylvania Counties. Using primarily 1970 census data, the report chronicles the percentages of homes that are owner-occupied, renter-occupied, black-occupied, over-crowded, and without adequate plumbing, among other things. Though the Federal Housing Act of 1949 “promotes ‘A decent home and a suitable living environment for every American family,’” this objective was far from reality in 1974, as the report points out multiple times. Thus, Chapter 1 reports the present state of housing, Chapter 2 highlights the problems and challenges to potential solutions, and Chapter 3 lays out future housing goals and objectives, the major goal being “to provide every citizen of the Region with a satisfactory living environment within a meaningful range of choices. This goal includes providing an ample supply of housing that is safe, healthy and blight free, at reasonable costs, for all residents of the Region, regardless of income, race, age, sex, or ethnic background.” |
