| Holland Gardens, a deteriorating 80-year-old public housing complex in Jersey City, New Jersey, could soon get a sleek makeover that leverages the city's hot housing market. A new plan aims to transform the complex into a modern mixed-income development that will not only maintain the number of public housing units, but will also add affordable senior units, homeownership condos and market-rate apartments, along with new amenities. The project takes a new approach to preserving America's aging public housing, which has dwindled as cities struggle to fund repairs and maintenance. But the success of the plan will depend on how the city handles the involuntary relocation of current Holland Gardens residents during construction, and whether it can keep its promise of a right to return when the project is completed, Patrick Spauster reports.
