In a nine-month investigation that takes FRONTLINE and NPR from Dallas to Miami, 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 investigates the inseparability of race and housing programs in America, tracing a legacy of segregation and discrimination that began more than 80 years ago.

Poverty is everywhere, wherever place you're across the world there's a poverty stricken even though the poverty of Africa is unbearable They strive for only food and water and health care.
As usual, entitled white people not wanting to help the poor or indigenous people. Best we hope for is that a event comes to theor lives to shift them into humanity kindness and realities that are most important in life, like Community
Nicole is the worst
Nothing will change until politicians either start going to prison or dying.
A lot of obstacles, mostly selfish people.
This report confirms my beliefs
Fraud fraud fraud
Go to hotels get storage
Iti2025 and there's no oversight whatsoever. There is nobody watching the way the government funding is spent. There are people who are openly stealing the money and they don't even make a secret of it.
Keep supporting the same politicians…….
Why do we put pressure of companies to pay their workers more but no pressure is put on greedy developers to cap how often they can raise rent. Literally on the basis of greed. Most apartments are in bad shape and are depreciating but our system tells us otherwise
Oh the Government IS spending Billions…but not to fix this issue. There's no accountability so how do you expect to address corruption
There are no low income seniors apartments available for seniors 3 year waiting list also you must have certain income to qualify no help for anyone hear.
12:26 so your a racist LoL ?
Maybe if the government provides tube ties after second government assisted delivery everything would balance itself out. 🤷ðŸ»â€â™€ï¸
Steal millions from the homeless and little to no jail time and still have money and a home. How’s this fair?
She is the worst!!
Ya and here we are almost 9 years later and it’s WORSE!!!!! What the heck America!!!
12:11 You feel bad cuz u are an awful human being xddd
Even worse now ‼ï¸â€¼ï¸ let's not forget wages have gone nowhere in 30yrs
Regardless of what I think about this report, one thing is certain – Laura Sullivan is smokin' hawt! RAWR!
