Description: POWER AND PROBITY IN A DC COOPERATIVE: The Life and Death of Sursum Corda, ISBN 0998643386, ISBN-13 9780998643380, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Hirsh recounts the story of Sursum Corda, an inner-city community in the Washington . area, that suddenly found itself sitting on valuable land. Private, developed, supported, and sponsored by HUD, it was the realization of a group of Catholic laymen and provided affordable housing for disadvantaged Washingtonians, especially single mothers with children and people dislocated by what was then called “urban renewal”. Completed by 1970, it had one and six-bedroom apartments. His book is a record of what took place 35 years later when the land it was on became of interest to developers, and larger forces, too. Hirsh reveals how a grassroots attempt to save a community became indebtedness to HUD through no fault of its own. Annotation ©2018 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
