This new report documents your Administrations achievements: transforming public housing into a place where low-income families can thrive, and re-establishing both the public housing and housing choice voucher programs as broadly supported, essential elements of Americas safety net. The promise of the public housing system in 2000 is the same as it was when it began in 1937 providing a safe and decent home, a healthy environment to raise children, and opportunities for a better way of life. While most public housing is a great success, sadly, a small percentage did not live up to that promise. Large high-rises and barracks-type housing in cities like Chicago, Dallas, Baltimore, and New Orleans became havens of crime, drug use, poverty, and despair.
