Hope VI: Building Communities, Transforming Lives
HUD's HOPE VI program is the latest chapter in an important American success story- the public housing system. The vast majority of the nation's 3,400 housing authorities provide safe, decent, affordable housing for 1.3 million very low-income families-a stable place from which they can begin to build a better life. However, the quiet successes of America's public housing have all too often been overshadowed by the terrible conditions in a small share of units (almost 100,000 out of 1.3 million public housing units, according to a 1992 report of the National Commission on Severely Distressed Public Housing). These large high-rise and barracks-style projects, collapsing under the burdens of poor design, deferred maintenance, and decades of hard use, have unjustly defined the public image of public housing. Yet there is no denying the malignant effect of these developments on their residents or on struggling, high-poverty neighborhoods.
