SUMMARY:September 2026 Book Club: AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN CHARLOTTE: What One City’s History Tells Us About America’s Pressing Problem with Author - Dr. Tom Hanchett
DESCRIPTION:  \nCommunity historian Tom Hanchett shares insights from his new study Affordable Housing in Charlotte: What One City’s History Tells Us About America’s Pressing Problem. What does “affordable” mean? Who qualifies? How has funding changed over time? Are there local success stories? Why is there a shortage? \nDr. Tom Hanchett is a community historian who works with neighborhood groups in Charlotte. Educated at Cornell\, University of Chicago and UNC Chapel Hill\, he is author of a history book about Charlotte\, Sorting Out the New South City\, as well as his new book on affordable housing. Charlotte Magazine calls him “Charlotte’s Dr. History” and named him a Charlottean of the Year. Check out his lively website HistorySouth.org \nLocally\, regionally\, and nationally\, the lack of affordable housing is an urgent and ongoing issue. As elected officials rush to ramp up aid for the construction of affordable apartments\, scholars and policymakers are asking how our present system of housing subsidies—both its strengths and its shortcomings—came into being. In this book\, Tom Hanchett takes a case-study approach\, tracking low-rent housing in the growing city of Charlotte\, North Carolina\, from the beginnings of public housing circa 1940 to the present. \nLooking beyond policy battles in Washington\, Hanchett tells an intimate history of how federal initiatives played out on the ground\, making clear connections between the creation of federal housing programs and how agencies interacted with local and state forces to actually produce housing. Using Charlotte as a lens\, Hanchett shows in detail how power brokers have clashed on all levels of government and yet have the ability to empower both citizens and elected officials to take action toward better housing for all\, in North Carolina’s most populous city and beyond. \n  \nBooks can be purchased locally at Park Road Books or online at Amazon: Affordable Housing in Charlotte: What One City’s History Tells Us about America’s Pressing Problem: Hanchett\, Tom: 9781469686202: Amazon.com: Books \n  \nMembers: Complimentary\nGuests: $25 \n  \nCharlotte’s private investment fund\, Ascent Capital led by Mark Etheridge\, is in the national spotlight for its big work on affordable housing. https://shelterforce.org/2026/08/25/can-a-private-sector-fund-preserve-affordable-housing-in-charlotte/ \n  \nRegister Now\n  \n\n  \n
