The Puerto Rican Migrant and Housing Needs in the Bronx, New York: A Study of Five Families Known to Family Service, Catholic Charities, Bronx, New York, 1960
Abstract
Much has been said about the different problems encountered by the Puerto Rican migrant to New York City. All of these problems including language, culture, climate, employment, prejudice and housing are of a serious nature to the newly arrived.It is the intention of the author to focus her attention primarily on the housing needs of the Puerto Rican migrant in New York City. Housing, together with food and shelter, is one of the basic needs of the individual. Adequate food and clothing are essential, but without adequate housing a family can scarcely function as a primary unit. The concern of thoughtful men about poor living conditions is as old as the industrial revolution.
