NPR's Cheryl Corley reports on the impending end a federal program that was started in the late-1960s to provide subsidized housing for the poor in middle class white neighborhoods. The program grew out of a 1966 discrimination lawsuit against the Chicago Housing Authority and the federal Deparatment of Housing and Urban Development. Advocates are lobbying Housing Secretary Henry Cisneros to continue the subsidies.
