CMS will also be entering into partnership with the HUD HOPE VI program. Heralded as the nation’s most aggressive effort to renew the public housing stock over recent decades, the HOPE VI program has, since 1993, sought to revitalize the nation’s housing stock. On September 26, 2007, this program was slated for continuation through the passage of the HOPE VI Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2007. HOPE VI works in partnership with communities and the Federal sector so that current and prospective HOPE VI communities, once created, can be sustained. As the revenues assigned to the HOPE VI program have grown, and even more successful programs have been identified, HUD has increased its efforts to document these successes, to learn lessons from the challenges encountered, and, most importantly, to identify ways that all communities can institutionalize and sustain the most effective strategies and practices. CMS will work closely with seniors who have aged in places such as in the public housing system and who have now returned to HOPE VI communities. This population includes large numbers of persons who can be classified as underserved populations. |
