:This essay examines privatization proposals for publicly assisted housing in the context of adjustments in the state’s role within a mixed economy. Four case studies are presented that deal with: (1)tax subsidies for homeownership, (2)the use of subsidies to private developers, (3)the use of housing vouchers, and (4)ownership for the poor. The author compares how well these solutions perform in relation to quality, equity, efficiency, choice, and community.
