HOPE VI Program
| View Website |
HOPE VI is a US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
initiative to transform the most distressed public housing projects
in the nation and works on both improving the physical quality
of public housing and expanding the opportunities of its residents.
It represents the most dramatic change of direction in the history
of U.S. public housing policy. In May 2000, HACC applied to HUD
for HOPE VI funding. The funding was approved and the money has
been used for a variety of purposes.
