Report Date July 20, 1998
Report No. RCED-98-187
Subject
Summary:

For years, many of the nation's public housing projects have exemplified urban decay and substandard living conditions. To revitalize blighted public housing in urban areas, Congress in 1992 established the Urban Revitalization Demonstration Program, commonly known as HOPE VI. This program provides grants to help public housing authorities transform obsolete public housing sites into attractive, economically viable communities and to help improve the lives of public housing residents through community and support service programs. Since fiscal year 1993, Congress has appropriated more than $3 billion in HOPE VI grants. This report reviews (1) the progress in completing capital improvements and implementing community and support services at HOPE VI sites, (2) the primary reasons why progress at some HOPE VI sites has been slow, (3) the extent to which financial leveraging is used at HOPE VI sites, and (4) the Department of Housing and Urban Development's capacity to oversee the program.
