    David P Varady, Jeffrey A Raffel et al.ARTICLEJournal of Urban Affairs2005Cited by: 17References: 3

    While the growing literature on HOPE VI emphasizes the presumed benefits of income mixing these benefits are most likely to occur if middle-income families with children are drawn to these sites.

    Jeffrey A Raffel, William Lowe Boyd et al.ARTICLEJournal of Urban Affairs1992Cited by: 2References: 15

Successful policy alternatives should be: (1) comprehensive (i.e., deal with urban problems beyond education, such as health status and poverty), (2) supported by adequate resources, (3) universal and targeted (i.e., focused on children), (4) value-based (i.e., promoting the value of …
