The University City Home Rental Trust (UCHRT) was an experiment in maintaining racial integration of a neighborhood. It took place in University City, Missouri from 1968 to 1990. One of its leading investors was Leo Drey. His wife, Kay Drey, was its chief spokesperson. The UCHRT bought houses in a part of the city into which African Americans were moving, as whites were moving out. The houses were rented to white families with school-age children. The goal was to keep the neighborhood and the local public school integrated. In 1979, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch said, "The project--which experts say may be the only one of its kind in the United States--appears to have promoted integration successfully."
