Public housing in the United States is administered by federal, state and local agencies to provide subsidized assistance for low-income households.
 Public housing is priced well below the market rate, allowing people to live in more convenient locations rather than move away from the city in search of lower rents.
 Now increasingly provided in a variety of settings and formats, originally public housing in the U.S. consisted primarily of one or more concentrated blocks of low-rise and/or high-rise apartment buildings.
 These complexes are operated by state and local housing authorities which are authorized and funded by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.
 More than 1.2 million households currently live in public housing of some type .
The history of St. Louis, Missouri, from 1905 to 1980 saw declines in population and economic basis, particularly after World War II.
 Although St. Louis made civic improvements in the 1920s and enacted pollution controls in the 1930s, suburban growth accelerated and the city population fell dramatically from the 1950s to the 1980s.
 Like many urban areas, St. Louis experienced high unemployment during the Great Depression, then expanded its industrial base during World War II.
 The city became home to the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial during the 1930s, and during the 1960s the Gateway Arch was built on the memorial grounds.
 St. Louis City and St. Louis County made multiple attempts at consolidation during the period, but none were particularly successful.
 Despite attempts at urban renewal that included public housing projects such as the Pruitt-Igoe complex, and the city continued to lose population to county cities.
The Wendell O. Pruitt Homes and William Igoe Apartments, known together as Pruitt–Igoe, were joint urban housing projects first occupied in 1954 in the U.S. city of St. Louis, Missouri.

 By the late 1960s, the complex had become internationally infamous for its poverty, crime, and racial segregation.
 All 33 buildings were demolished with explosives in the mid-1970s, and the project has become an icon of failure of urban renewal and of public-policy planning.

 Thanks to his efforts, Cleveland became a leader in public housing, creating the first public housing authority, Cleveland Metropolitan Housing Authority, and creating some of the largest public housing developments in the nation.
