New Communities Guiding Principles
The New Communities Initiative has four guiding principles:
-
One for One Replacement of existing units to ensure that there is no net loss of the existing deeply subsidized units in the neighborhood
-
The Right to Return/Stay to ensure that current families will be able to afford to stay in their neighborhood
-
Mixed-Income Mix to ensure the long-term viability of the neighborhood by providing a range of housing for all incomes
-
Build First, which calls for new housing on publicly-controlled lands to be built prior to the demolition of existing distressed housing to minimize displacement
