Still, there remained 18 fully occupied low income public housing family properties within<br />
AHA’s inventory in 2004. To fully accomplish its objectives, AHA introduced the Quality <strong>of</strong> Life<br />
Initiative (QLI) in 2005. QLI was a new CATALYST activity designed to demolish the remaining<br />
public housing developments. As a result, by 2010 only two <strong>of</strong> the original 25 LIPH family<br />
developments were still operating, as were only 12 <strong>of</strong> the original 19 senior developments.<br />
By demolishing all public housing developments within a relatively short period <strong>of</strong> time (i.e.<br />
2004 - 2010) the Quality <strong>of</strong> Life Initiative (QLI) had a pr<strong>of</strong>ound effect on public housing assisted<br />
families and the communities where they lived. In 2004 there were nine mixed-income<br />
revitalized developments, by 2010 there were 20. In 2004 there were 18 low income public<br />
housing family developments – by 2010 only two remained. In 2004 AHA provided project<br />
based rental assistance (PBRA) in five different developments. By 2010, project based<br />
assistance was available in 25 different properties. Finally, in 2010 AHA provided assistance to<br />
householders with special needs in seven developments, where no such assistance was<br />
available in 2004, see Figure 1.<br />
