HUD'S APPROACH TO JOINT DEVELOPMENT THROUGH PUBLIC HOUSING

The experimental program will contain several initiatives, including a $159 million targeted rehabilitation program, a $15 million management assistance program, a $32 million interagency anticrime program, and a $2.5 million urban partnership program designed to encourage city governments to work more cooperatively with public housing authorities in such ventures as the development of neighborhoods and commercial revitalization programs in public housing areas. It is this last, small amount that may provide the leverage for integrating a number of project- and process-oriented joint development efforts. Eligible activities must meet the requirements for HUD's community development block grants and address one or more of the following: (a) development of plans and programs for reusing vacant or underused housing facilities (b) development of neighborhood and commercial revitalization programs in areas where there are federally assisted public housing projects, or (c) development of plans and programs to improve the level and quality of municipal support for local public housing authorities.
