Hope after Hope VI: A retrospective of an evolving program

Article Abstract:

A short description on the evolution of the HOPE VI, which was born out of the National Commission on Severely Distressed Public Housing, which identified 100,000 units of public housing nationwide that were not working is presented with reference to its rules. Began under HUB Secretary Henry Cisneros, who had encouraged experimentation, big visions, and creative planning, the program became increasingly codified under HUD Secretary Andrew Cuomo during President Clinton's second term, when the slow progress of completed projects drew criticism from Congress.
