This report provides a perspective on Hispanic housing concerns that highlight the relationship between the need for shelter and various other social issues among Hispanic Americans. It covers general Hispanic needs in the housing field and also specific issues affecting particularly vulnerable subpopulations -- migrant and seasonal farmworker families and the Hispanic elderly. Topics addressed include education, income, labor force participation, and geographic distribution of Hispanics; cultural aspects of Hispanic life; and housing conditions. A discussion of short - range solutions to the housing problems facing Hispanic communities emphasizes the necessity of Hispanic homeownership and increased funding for the government's rent supplement assistance program, as well as monies for public housing projects and renovations. Nonprofit organizations should be urged to start or continue advocating and developing low - income housing. The Community Development Block Grant Program should be monitored to ensure that Hispanics are receiving equal consideration and treatment. Other programs for migrants and the elderly are described. In addition, all levels of government and private institutions should provide resources for the extensive research and documentation needed to analyze fully why housing and community development programs have failed to assist the Hispanic community. Overall, a broad social policy should be developed to provide long - range solutions to Hispanic housing problems, and existing programs should be restructured, adapted, and reimplemented to have a more direct effect on the housing dilemma facing Hispanics. References are included.
