Cabrini-Green, a 70-acre low-income housing project in Chicago in 1966. That inspired researchers to zoom in on HOPE VI, one of the largest neighborhood revitalization programs in U.S. history. The multidecade effort to reimagine Chicago’s notorious Cabrini-Green complex, for example, was infused with $50 million in HOPE VI financing. The neighborhood-level successes of HOPE VI, which led to decreased crime and increased property values, have been well documented. Results showed more connections with higher-income peers when the school was near a HOPE VI property.
