Nixon Sets Up Policy In Suburbs
President Nixon outlined a suburb focused housing policy emphasizing voluntary local action to expand dec ent housing opportunities for low and moderate income Americans while rejecting federal coercion or racial integration mandates. He urged communities to open nonsegregated housing without imposing economic measures as a disguise for discrimination, and said federal aid should favor projects that reduce past housing discrimination while respecting local land use policies. The plan stops short of banning housing in minority dense areas and calls for careful appraisal of how aid affects segregation patterns within metropolitan areas.
