Fair Housing and Community Development: Time to Come Together	2008	20	.pdf	application/pdf	9966	445	51	During the Clinton Administration, efforts were made to affirmatively further fair housing when resolving civil rights litigation against federal and local housing agencies, albeit with limited success.^^ These initiatives sought to transform the ghetto conditions in public housing communities, expand housing opportunities by deconcentrating the location of public housing, and create more choices through the administration of the voucher program.^^ Civil rights advocates successfully litigated and argued that continuation of the status quo with regard to low-income housing policy perpetuated prior official segregation and was not only bad policy, but also unconstitutional.^^ Remedies negotiated by the plaintiffs and HUD focused on increasing housing choices and addressing the large public housing projects that were built to segregate and had deteriorated to the point that they blighted communities and destroyed lives. ^° All strongly support one-for-one replacement of any public housing that is demolished and protecting the rights of those currently living in public housing to return to the redeveloped community if they so choose.^^ However, some advocates maintain that HOPE VI is first and foremost a community building program and that any replacement housing must be located back on the original site or in the surrounding neighborhoods, regardless of the history of segregation in the affected community or the desires of those who wish and replacement opportunities provided by a HOPE VI grant to expand housing opportunities for low-income minority families throughout the community, instead using public housing to continue the segregation and containment of low-income minority families in low-income minority communities.	cache/inlawrev-3947.pdf	txt/inlawrev-3947.txt
