| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 2 | Title: | Housing Our People Economically, Inc. Records
| | | | Creator: | Housing Our People Economically, Inc. | | | | Dates: | 1965-1979 | | | | Abstract: | Housing Our People Economically, Inc., was a non-profit organization founded in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1965 to rehabilitate existing houses and build new ones for residents of Cleveland's Hough neighborhood. It depended on government and foundation grants for much of its support, and, by the mid-1970s, owned and managed over 250 units of housing. The group floundered in 1984 after reports of corruption and poor management made it difficult to obtain adequate funding. The group was known as HOPE. The collection consists of correspondence, memoranda, press releases, proposals, reports, information about property holdings, a subject file, blueprints, and newspaper clippings. | | | | Call #: | MS 4381 | | | | Extent: | 2.81 linear feet (4 containers and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Housing Our People Economically, Inc. -- Archives. | Community development corporations -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Community development, Urban -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Housing -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | African Americans -- Housing -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Housing rehabilitation -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Poor -- Housing -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Hough (Cleveland, Ohio)
