| Annotation | In the late 1980s, US government assisted housing for older people started being used for housing younger people with disabilities as well. Those representing older people expressed concern about the negative consequences of such 'mixing' and the turnover of this housing to other groups. Based on interviews with key participants and an analysis of documents, this article uses interest group theory as a model of agenda setting to explain why 'mixing populations' attained prominence on the Federal housing agenda, the different perspectives of those represented, and the implications of the conflict for housing policy and interest group politics. |
