BACKGROUND
The HOPE VI program is aimed at efforts to transform Public Housing. The keys to success
include revitalizing the physical qualities of buildings and sites and establishing positive
incentives for resident self-sufficiency and comprehensive services that empower residents.
The intent of the program is to lessen concentrations of poverty by placing public housing in
non-poverty neighborhoods and promoting mixed-income communities, and leveraging
support and resources by forging partnerships with other agencies, local governments,
nonprofit organizations, and private businesses. All public housing residents affected by the
program will be assured continued housing assistance.
The HOPE VI application process is comprehensive and includes both the physical and social
aspects of public housing. The Redevelopment Agency, the Housing Authority and District One
Supervisor are working together to bring about a successful HOPE VI application. The
memorandum of Understanding defines the roles and responsibilities of the three parties in
regards to their involvement in the HOPE VI process.
A project Steering Committee comprised of Las Deltas residents, community members, local
businesses, service providers, health and safety professionals, and County Agencies has been
established to guide the application process. The Steering Committee has overseen the
selection of a Master Planner to prepare the application package. We are currently in
negotiations with the Master Planner for a final contract. Once the contract and associated cost
is agreed to, the Housing Authority and the Redevelopment Agency will approach the Board for
approval. It is anticipated that this will be on the Agenda on the 27th of March.
