PUBLIC HOUSING is a film about daily life at the Ida B. Wells public housing development in Chicago. The film shows the work of the tenants council, street life, the role of police, job training programs, drug education, teenage mothers, dysfunctional families, elderly residents, nursery school and after school teenage programs and the activities of the city, state and federal governments in maintaining and changing public housing. The scenes illustrate some of the experiences of people living in conditions of extreme poverty.
