HOPE VI projects __________ in order to integrate poor inner-city residents into the social and economic fabric of the city.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

HOPE VI projects aim to create new mixed-income neighborhoods by replacing public housing projects with new developments that include a mix of affordable and market-rate housing. The goal is to break up concentrated poverty and provide opportunities for low-income residents to live in more desirable areas with access to better schools and job opportunities. Dispersing poor people evenly throughout the city (option A) is not the goal of the program and can lead to isolation and further marginalization. Giving the poor housing vouchers (option B) is not sufficient on its own to address the problems of concentrated poverty and lack of access to services and opportunities. Stimulating gentrification with tax waivers (option D) can lead to displacement of low-income residents and does not address the root causes of poverty.
