“I raised my children pretty much there,” Flake recalled. “They all finished school successfully. They all went to college and my son became a professional basketball player overseas.” “It was interesting in the beginning, having people come together in the same neighborhood from quite different backgrounds,” Holsten said. “Some of them, decided it wasn’t for them. Others, decided to make the best of it and 20 years later, we still have a handful of folks that were here, over the 20 year period.”
To move into the new developments, applicants from Cabrini Green had to follow really strict rules and for some, those rules were life changing. “The ones that didn’t fit this project, they didn’t just throw the people out, they made sure they got their Section 8 back, so they could move on. They did not just put the tenants out.”
