The Brunswick News: City peeks at what could be

Nancy Levy sent this link to a piece on city leaders trying to figure out how to make their communities "bounce back." Now, take a look at this language from the item:

"Taking its cue from federal efforts to increase first-time home buyers through homeowners associations, the city launched a Rent-to-Own program designed to provide quality, low-cost housing for qualifying low- to moderate-income families and individuals."

------------------
I'm wondering (but I don't know) if this is a reference to the HOPE VI program, that was used to rebuild public housing projects a mixed-use developments with market rate housing, subsidized housing, and apartments, but run by HOAs. This was done to Cabrini Green, Robert Taylor Homes, etc., in Chicago.
