Public Housing Hope Vi Resident Issues And Changes In Neighborhoods Surrounding Grant Sites

Congress established the HOPE VI program in 1992 to revitalize severely distressed public housing by demolition, rehabilitation, or replacement of sites. In FY 1993-2001, the Dept. of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) awarded approximately $4.5 billion for 165 HOPE VI revitalization grants to public housing authorities (grantees). The General Accounting Office (GAO) was asked to examine: (1) the types of & the number of original residents that grantees expect to return to the revitalized sites, (2) how the FY 1996 grantees have involved residents in the HOPE VI process, & (3) how the neighborhoods surrounding the 20 sites that received HOPE VI grants in FY 1996 have changed.
