The Next Challenge for Public Housing: Serving Its Most Vulnerable Families

The HOPE VI program did away with much of the nation's worst public housing, but not all residents benefited. Many of the most troubled families -- those with physical and mental health problems, weak employment histories, low literacy levels, drug or alcohol abuse troubles, criminal histories, and serious credit problems -- have been left behind in the move to mixed-income developments or private-market housing.

As the federal government, localities, and housing authorities seek to revitalize scarred inner-city neighborhoods, a unique set of responses is needed to aid public housing's most vulnerable families. The Chicago Family Case Management Demonstration may have some innovative answers.


Panelists:

  • Ronald T. Ashford, director of public housing supportive services, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
  • Mary Howard, vice president of resident services, Chicago Housing Authority
  • Susan J. Popkin, director, Program on Neighborhoods and Youth Development, Urban Institute
