Community 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? Dr. 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 Locally, 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. Looking 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. Books can be purchased locally at Park Road Books or online at Amazon: Affordable Housing in Charlotte: What One City's History... |

Why You Should Join Primax Pink Warriors We envision a future where our children no longer live with the threat of breast cancer and where everyone has a fair and just opportunity to prevent, find, treat, and survive this disease. By supporting the Primax Pink Warriors, you help ensure the American Cancer Society can continue fighting for that same vision. Together, we can help fund the future of breast cancer research and programs for our loved ones today and for the next generation. Investing in groundbreaking breast cancer research to better understand, prevent, find, and treat the disease. Providing free rides to treatment, free places to stay near hospitals, a live 24/7 cancer helpline, and so much more. Helping people reduce their breast cancer risk or find it early when it may be easier to treat. Fighting breast cancer is hard. It’s scary. Sometimes it takes away people we love. Breast cancer threatens your femininity and scares your family. This is why the Primax Pink Warriors are so passionate about raising money to fund breast cancer research and programs. We want to help the American Cancer Society find a cure, so our future generations won’t hear the words “you have breast cancer.” Until then we walk, we fundraise, we educate, we love on our survivors, and we continue to grow our local team, right here in Charlotte.
