Poverty, Politics and Profit
More working Americans are struggling to make rent than at any time since
the Great Depression.
FRONTLINE and NPR join forces to investigate the crisis in affordable
housing and why so few are getting the help they need. In a nine-month
investigation that takes them from Dallas to Miami, to an upscale resort in
Costa Rica, NPR’s Laura Sullivan and FRONTLINE’s Rick Young find that just
one in four households eligible for Section 8 assistance are getting it, and
the nation’s signature low-income housing construction program is costing
more and producing less. The team follows a money trail that raises
questions about the oversight of a program meant to house low-income people.
Poverty, Politics and Profit also explores the inseparability of race and
housing programs in America, tracing a legacy of segregation and
discrimination that began more than 80 years ago.
