This thesis investigated the dimensions of well-being in public housing families. The five indicators used in the evaluation were poor liveability, fear of crime, identification with the project, future aspirations and social ties. Sex, race and age were the independent variables.It was hypothesized that whites would score higher on feelings of well-being than blacks and that there is a direct relationship between age and feelings of well-being or avowed happiness. The final hypothesis stated that the family's dimension of well-being would be predicted by the characteristics of the project where they lived.The data did not support any of the hypotheses; explanations for the findings are offered as well as suggestions for further research.
