One-for-one Replacement of Public Housing Demolished
As HOPE VI, the federal plan to revitalize public housing, comes up
for reauthorization in 2007, the Shriver Center is adding its expertise
to an important conversation about meeting the housing needs of
low-income people. Shriver Center Director of Housing Litigation,
William P. Wilen, has coordinated a coalition of housing advocates and
service providers within the Housing
Justice Network to ensure that every unit of public housing
demolished is replaced so that families who wish to remain in their
communities can do so.
On February 13, 2007, the House of Representatives Financial
Services Committee held a roundtable discussion regarding reforming
Hope VI. Materials submitted to the Committee are below in pdf
format.
