Stop Six Choice Neighborhood Initiative
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development began its Choice Neighborhoods program in 2010 to leverage significant public and private dollars to support locally-driven strategies that address struggling neighborhoods with distressed public or HUD-assisted housing through a comprehensive approach to neighborhood transformation.
The program calls on local leaders, residents and stakeholders — such as public housing authorities, cities, schools, police, business owners, nonprofits and private developers – to collaboratively create and implement a plan to revitalize distressed HUD housing and catalyzes critical neighborhood improvements, including housing, businesses, community services and schools.
Fort Worth Housing Solutions is committed to keeping our community informed about news and opportunities related to the Stop Six Choice Neighborhood Initiative.
