I believe that housing is a human right. In the United States, a very wealthy country, there is no excuse for homelessness. Section 8 of the housing act that es- tablished public housing was revised in 1974 to create an excellent new program. The new Section 8 program provided federal funds to help households afford the rent in existing housing. The program also gave developers assistance to create new or renovated affordable housing. I was an advocate for the program when it was enacted in 1974, and I proposed a successful amendment allowing large fam- ilies to pay only 15 percent of income for rent. The book includes a brief history of earlier housing programs. Then I discuss President Nixon’s housing morato- rium and the study that led to Section 8. I have a chapter about Carla A. Hills, President Ford’s housing Secretary, who was very effective and productive.
Total disarray is the complete description of our world today with racial ten- sion, continued inequality, injustice, looting, war, violence, protesting, etc. I could not have known what was to come when Wilbur and Simmy was written in 2015. With extreme hurt in my heart from the ways of the world today, I am hopeful that these two amazing characters will touch and calm the hearts of many. Change in most instances is derived from emotions. While waiting for the world to change, let’s read this book with our kids and enjoy many different emotions as we await the coming of Wilbur and Simmy as they come to life.
