EDITORIAL
Manuscripts considered for publication in the Journal of Housing
and Community Development (JOHCD) should reflect knowledge,
concern, and experience in the areas of professional activity of interest
to the readers. Emphasis is on direct administrative, organizational,
and operational reports; on legal, governmental, and technical development;
and on the development of national trends as they affect housing and
community development programs at national, state regional, and local
levels. Queries in short form, indicating subject, approach, development,
and conclusions are preferred. All queries should be directed to the
Editor. Outlines, with explanatory letter, are acceptable. Potential
contributors who are not familiar with JOHCD are urged to
read several issues thoroughly before considering submitting material. JOHCD is
published for very specialized audiences for whom only top quality
material of a significant and competent professional nature is accepted.
MECHANICAL
Manuscripts should be a maximum length of 10 to 12 double spaced typewritten
or computer generated pages, on standard 8 1/2 x 11 plain manuscript
paper, and should be submitted in duplicate; exceptions to the length
requirements are permitted only by special arrangement with the editor.
Supportive photographs, charts, graphs, or other illustrative materials
should be included with the manuscript at time of submission. The author
is responsible for any necessary releases or permissions for the use
of graphic or photographic material submitted. All photographs or graphic
materials are returned following publication of the article. If the article
is not accepted for publication, the manuscript will be returned upon
request. Manuscripts can be submitted in Microsoft Word format for
Macintosh or PC; or Rich Text Format (RTF) if some other word processing
program is used.
AUTHORS
Authors who have not previously submitted material for consideration
for publication in JOHCD are requested to send a brief statement
of their background, indicating the particular professional credentials
or experience that qualify them for preparation of the material submitted.

these changes may be made by the author or by JOHCD staff.
