“…Furthermore, management in public housing has recognized the needs of frail, older adult residents and residents with disabilities and has instituted programs to maintain resident independence and/or hired service coordinators or case managers to ensure residents are linked to resources to maintain independence (Bowie, 2004;Locke, Lam, Henry, & Brown, 2011;Theodos, Popkin, Guernsey, & Getsinger, 2010). These programs targeting seniors are often introduced at public housing sites where there are greater economies of scale with the large number of residents located at one site.…”

“…Housing policy (HOPE VI) There has been a net loss of existing public housing units as a result of HOPE VI-funded demolition and revitalization projects (Turner & Kingsley, 2008); most original residents of a HOPE VI site relocate (Buron et al, 2007;Comey, 2007); some movers relocate to non-poor neighborhoods but others do not escape neighborhood poverty (Buron, 2004;Buron et al, 2007;Buron et al, 2002); ‗hard to house' families are likely to remain in public housing Theodos et al, 2010); individual outcomes vary for original residents of the same HOPE VI site Levy & Kaye, 2004); involuntary movers have poorer outcomes than voluntary movers (Goetz, 2003) The next chapter will describe the plan for investigating the relative importance of these variables in predicting locational attainment patterns for poor, renter households.…”

“…Another concern is that original HOPE VI residents who remain in public housing units (either due to relocation to another public housing site or remaining at the redevelopment site as it is demolished and reconstructed in phases) have increasingly complex barriers to self-sufficiency including mental, physical and age-related disabilities, substance addiction and high levels of unemployment (Theodos et al, 2010;Turner et al, 2004). These individuals may need more assistance with the relocation process as well as supportive services, case management, and in some cases, even permanent supportive housing.…”

“…These individuals may need more assistance with the relocation process as well as supportive services, case management, and in some cases, even permanent supportive housing. Theodos et al (2010) describe an approach to assessing and classifying residents' need for intensive supportive services in order to manage costs while appropriately targeting interventions. They cite results from an enhanced services demonstration project in Chicago that suggest such an approach is feasible.…”

“…Finally, it appeared that families with multiple, complex barriers (referred to as ‗hard-tohouse' families) were disproportionately likely to have remained in public housing where their outcomes were poorer Theodos, Popkin, Guernsey, & Getsinger, 2010). Popkin, Katz et al (2004, p. 24) note that -the question of what has happened to the original residents of the revitalized HOPE VI developments has become a majorand contentious-focus of concern… Unfortunately, there is only limited information about how these residents have fared…‖ Program evaluation has mostly been done at the local level or through multi-site case studies.…”

Deck, Stacy M., "Context matters : a multilevel analysis of patterns of mobility to non-poor neighborhoods for poor renter households." (2010) It gives me comfort to know that as I walk in your footsteps a part of you lives on in me..iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There are so many people to thank. First, I am indebted to my dissertation committee. Each member of my committee is an individual with whom I enjoy spending time, and we all worked so well together. It was a real pleasure to be mentored by this group from whom I learned so much.My chair, Dr. Annatjie Faul, is a social worker and researcher extraordinaire. She possesses a rare combination of true compassion, professional dedication and drive, intellectual curiosity and amazing intelligence, and she's also a lot of fun to be around. I admire Annatjie and aspire to these qualities. I entrusted this final leg of my doctoral journey to her care, knowing that she would guide me to the finish line. Along the way, Ilost several people who are dear to me and she saw me through those times with such kindness. I appreciate the fact that she is as committed to my dissertation topic as I am. This is my tenth year of working for Dr. Rod Barber, and he has been my mentor for longer than that. I cannot adequately express my gratitude for his always believing in me, urging me to higher levels of learning and accomplishment, and giving me abundant freedom and flexibility in my work. Rod is such an outstanding role model: his ability to guide work teams to high levels of performance is exceptional as is his skill in applied research that makes a tangible difference in our community. Quite literally, he knows what it means to live outside the ivory tower.Dr. Kevin Borders has been a colleague for many years. It was our loss and and Bob-worked hard to provide opportunities for their children and grandchildren, and they supported each of my parents in being the first in their families to go to college. My vii parents-Joe and Betsy-were my first teachers, and they nurtured, challenged and encouraged me to be the best I could be. They modeled life-long learning, persistence, compassion and community service, and they provided unconditional love. I really think they believed that their children could do anything; they certainly made us believe that.Later in life, I gained a stepmom, Jo. She was a great support to my dad, and continues to be a loving presence in my life.She reminds me what my dad would be saying to me now if he could, and for that I am grateful. I am blessed with three siblings-Joe, Andy and Jennifer-who have grown up to be great friends. They and their spouses mean the world to me.To my children, Becca, Jessica, Austin and Justin, I just want to say -I love you to the moon and back.‖ None of them can remember a time that I wasn't in school. I certainly appreciate their patience as they had to share me with -the book‖ I was writing.My smart, loving, thoughtful daughters have been with me for the whole journey, and I was so lucky to gain the two sons I always wanted durin...

L aunched in December 2010 with the support of the Open Society Foundations' (OSF) Special Fund for Poverty Alleviation, the multisite HOST demonstration tests innovative, twogeneration service models to improve the life chances of vulnerable low-income families living in public and mixed-income housing communities. At its core, the demonstration aims to address parents' key barriers to selfsufficiency-such as poor physical and mental health, addictions, low levels of literacy, lack of a high school diploma, and historically weak connection to the labor force-while simultaneously integrating services and supports for children and youth. HOST builds on lessons learned from the successful wraparound service model that the Urban Institute and the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) piloted from 2007-2010 with residents of Dearborn Homes and the Madden/Wells development. While this model showed promising gains for even the highest-risk adults, the benefits did not extend to their children. Parents reported that their teens were struggling in school, engaging in risky behavior, being arrested, and pregnant and parenting at rates far above average (Popkin and Getsinger 2010). Developing effective place-based models that reach youth is critical not only for improving the lives of individual children and youth, but also for ensuring the health and viability of public and mixed-income communities. If youth engagement strategies are successful, they can reduce critical neighborhood Revitalization Initiative, which encompasses the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Choice Neighborhood program, the Department of Education's Promise Neighborhoods program, and the Department of Justice's Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation program. 1 Looking forward, HOST will help answer critical questions about what works for whom and provide important insight into how local communities implement similar dual-generation models to improve the life chances of their most vulnerable children and families.
