Preferred term

gautreaux program  

Definition

  • The Gautreaux program is the result of a 1976 Supreme Court consent decree in a lawsuit on behalf of African American public housing residents, which charged the Chicago Housing Authority and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development with intentional segregation (HUD) (HUD v. Gautreaux, 425 U.S. 284, 1976). The program allows public housing residents (and those on the waiting list) to receive Section 8 housing certificates and move to private apartments in either the city of Chicago or its mostly White suburbs.
