Summary: "Good Housing That Pays" by Fullerton L. Waldo is a social study written in the early 20th century. The work examines the aims and accomplishments of the Octavia Hill Association in Philadelphia, detailing efforts to provide clean and healthy housing for families in modest circumstances. The book focuses on the principles of social reform and housing management inspired by the legacy of Octavia Hill, a well-known housing reformer. The opening of this study introduces the context of Philadelphia as a city characterized by its numerous housing initiatives aimed at improving living conditions for its less fortunate citizens. It describes the challenges and existing conditions that low-income families face while emphasizing the Association's efforts, which prioritize a sense of community and responsibility over mere charity. It sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the Association’s practices, the personal stories behind them, and Octavia Hill's influential methods in managing properties to enhance the tenants' quality of life.
