Preferred term

substandard housing  

Definition

  • Researchers and policymakers have long struggled with the development of an operational definition for substandard housing. Although the 1949 Housing Act established the principle of “a decent home and suitable living environment for all Americans,” it failed to define any of the terms used. [Source: The Encyclopedia of Housing; Substandard Housing]
