520 |a "In the popular imagination, public housing tenants are considered, at best, victims of intractable poverty and, at worst, criminals. More Than Shelter makes clear that such limited perspectives do not capture the rich reality of tenants' active engagement in shaping public housing into communities. By looking closely at three public housing projects in San Francisco, Amy L. Howard brings to light the dramatic measures tenants have taken to create--and sustain and strengthen--communities that mattered to them. Taken together, the stories Howard tells challenge assumptions about public housing and its tenants and make way for a broader, more productive and inclusive vision of the public housing program in the United States."--Back cover
