Community and Supportive Services

Overview

The participation of both public housing residents living at HOPE VI sites to be revitalized and the surrounding community is essential to the HOPE VI Program and community building efforts. Full resident involvement and community input are crucial elements of the HOPE VI Program.

Guidance

Below are links to general guidance documentation for HOPE VI Grantees and HOPE VI-eligible public housing agencies (PHAs) on resident and community involvement in the HOPE VI Program. The guidance seeks to clarify the role of residents and the community in the HOPE VI process, and provides public housing agencies with a suggested framework for resident and community involvement as they plan, develop and manage their HOPE VI project.
