URBAN HOUSING & DEVELOPMENT                     LAW 772  (2-3 credits)

This course will explore current issues in housing and community development law, as exemplified by homelessness, scarcity of affordable housing for lower income families, and problems in the development/redevelopment of cities. The course is divided into three “units” of:  Federal and State Housing Programs, Urban Development Process, and Housing Discrimination. Students must identify on their registration form, which units they want to enroll in.

While students have the option of choosing 2 or 3 of the units described below, they MUST attend the first class session on Aug 17.  All students are expected  to attend the first class session, regardless of which sections they are taking.   [UPRED students would need to take the full 3-hour course - ed.)

Federal and State Housing Programs: This unit will explore basic concepts of housing markets and the use of subsidies to close financing gaps, the theories underlying federal and state housing programs, the concepts of demand side and supply side subsidies and review the history of federal and state housing programs.  Special attention will be paid to legislative and administrative responses to the current foreclosure crisis.

The Urban Development Process: This unit will  explore the use of the police power in community development and rehabilitation programs, including housing codes, the use of eminent domain to acquire property, problems of displacement and the use of the community development block grant program (CDBG) to encourage creation of public-private development partnerships.

Housing Discrimination: This unit will explore the federal Fair Housing Act and the related problems of preventing housing discrimination and encouraging the development of integrated communities.

Students are expected to submit a research paper 10-15 pages on a topic to be selected in consultation with the professor for each unit they take. (Salsich/Fall 2009)
