The access of Hispanics—the largest ethnic-racial minority in the United States—to housing has been understudied. A Cityscape call for papers to fill that gap resulted in more publishable submissions than would fit in one symposium. Therefore, in the last issue, George Carter III presented “The Hispanic Housing Experience in the United States, Part I,” which focused on homelessness, segregation, anti-immigrant ordinances, and mobility.

In this issue, our symposium (Part II) focuses on one old theme (segregation) but also several new ones: assisted housing, homeownership, and the transition of wealth and real property between generations.
