The cover of The Long Road from C.J. Peete to Harmony OaksThose charged with redeveloping one of New Orleans’s Big Four public housing developments faced an extreme version of nearly every challenge that public housing redevelopment struggles with. And while it wasn’t perfect, they learned some lessons from their trial by fire that would hold true in other cities as well.

The Long Road from C.J. Peete to Harmony Oaks was produced by the National Housing Institute with the support of the Annie E. Casey Foundation. Additional support provided by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation.
