Washington University Journal of Law & Policy

Abstract

This Article addresses the concept of black mobility within the context of Section 8 housing vouchers.

Hayat argues for eradication of Section 8 enforcement schemes and facially race-neutral policies to promote the elimination of hyper-segregated neighborhoods.
