Abstract

Housing is among the one of the most basic needs of human-beings. As a result of this, different countries in the world apply different methods to address housing needs of low-income people by considering the consequences of the housing efforts. Generally, these low-income housing projects are under the risk of being ruined, becoming crime and drug dealing areas. In order to deal with this risk, some countries prefer to disperse the social housing units in different neighborhoods for avoiding ghettoization problem; whereas some countries prefer to develop concentrated low income housing projects and provide social support programs in these housing complexes. In this article, the projects of Community Preservation and Development Corporation (CPDC), which is a nonprofit organization pioneered in combing real estate development to social support programs in the U.S., will be evaluated as an example of social support programs in low-income housing complexes.
