Climbing Mount Laurel
Authors: Douglas Massey, Len Albright, Rebecca Casciano, Elizabeth Derickson and David Kinse
Climbing Mount Laurel explores the evolution of the Ethel Lawrence Homes, a low-income housing development in Mount Laurel, N.J., established as a result of the state?s supreme court decision that municipalities are required to create affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households. In his work, Douglas Massey, a sociology professor at Princeton University, and his colleagues explore how neighborhoods can shape the life trajectories of their inhabitants. Climbing Mount Laurel argues that affordable housing projects are a cost-effective approach to integration and improving the lives of the poor to the betterment of the overall community.
