The document discusses the elimination of public housing units in the United States. It notes that over 1 million public housing units exist nationwide, with residents being predominantly minority.

Specifically, the act eliminated public housing units through expanded use of Section 8 housing vouchers, raising questions of whether this violated fair housing laws.
