Abstract
Abstract In 1992, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development ( HUD ) created the Housing Opportunities for People Everywhere ( HOPE VI ) program to help revitalize the nation's aging and declining subsidized housing stock. The program strove to improve the nation's aging housing stock by demolishing or rehabilitating the worst units and redeveloping some into mixed‐income developments. The mixed‐income developments that were built contain a mix of deeply subsidized, affordable, and market‐rate units. The goal of HOPE VI was to integrate public housing developments into the surrounding communities to end the decades‐long isolation of residents living in concentrated poverty. The framers of HOPE VI claimed that an end to social isolation, living near middle‐class families, and more amenities would provide public housing residents with the resources they needed to become self‐sufficient. The program also increased the allocation of Housing Choice Vouchers to help relocated residents to rent apartments in the private market.
