Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Proponents of a regional housing agenda often frame their discussion of metropolitan inequalities, and their policy recommendations, in terms of class. But research shows that both racial and class-based discrimination give rise to regional inequalities in housing. Can race be brought into the regional agenda? Can the fair housing movement partner with affordable housing advocates to advance racial and class equality in housing? I argue that developing a strong fair housing movement focused on racial inequality, or forming a coalition of fair housing and affordable housing groups, faces important obstacles. This paper explores the relationship between public policies and advocacy, with three case studies. In Denver, the fair housing movement is active but isolated, and no regional housing effort is in place. In New Jersey, advocates secured a regional housing policy focused on economic integration. They have had trouble using this now-longstanding policy to address racial dimensions of the problem. In the Twin Cities, the fair housing movement blends the goals of reducing both economic and racial polarization, and has secured local policy changes. My analytic framework draws on institutional theories of public policy to examine how policies shape advocacy. In substantive terms, my findings suggest that when fair housing groups rely heavily on federal policy resources, they have trouble developing allies and work in less visible arenas, thus do not mobilize the public behind their cause. When groups use state or local policy resources either alone, or in combination with federal resources, they have greater success, but these policies tend to move them away from a focus on racial equality.
