Program to Spur Low-Income Housing Is Keeping Cities Segregated, John Eligon, Yamiche Alcindor and Agustin Armendariz, July 2, 2017, New York Times, available here

What this means, fair-housing advocates say, is that the government is essentially helping to maintain entrenched racial divides, even though federal law requires government agencies to promote integration.
