分散化是一项旨在通过将贫困公共住房的居民重新安置到私人混合收入社区来减少贫困的政策。这种变化被认为提供了新的社会机会和更好的公共设施，可以促进经济状况的改善。HOPE VI是美国住房和城市发展部（HUD）的一项联邦计划，该计划在美国许多城市实施了这一政策。本文报道了在佛罗里达的坦帕的两个搬迁地点（高贫困和低贫困）的研究结果，基于对HOPE VI搬迁者和他们拥有房屋的邻居的采访。结果表明，搬迁并没有提高前公共住房居民的社会资本。与以前的公共住房条件相比，社交网络减少了。在搬迁地点，与房主的互动很少，房主的阻力很大。在低贫困地区，搬迁者对住房的满意度更高，但社交网络在不同地区并没有不同。
Deconcentration is a policy aimed at reducing poverty by relocating residents of distressed public housing complexes into private mixed income neighborhoods. This change is presumed to offer new social opportunities and better public facilities that can facilitate improved economic status. HOPE VI is a federal U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) program, which has effected this policy in a large number of U.S. cities. This paper reports the findings from research in two relocation sites (high and low poverty) in Tampa, Florida, based on interviews with HOPE VI relocatees and their homeowning neighbors. Results indicate that relocation does not enhance social capital for former public housing residents. Social networks are diminished in comparison with prior conditions in public housing. There is very little interaction with homeowners in relocation sites, and considerable resistance by homeowners. Relocatee satisfaction with housing is greater in the low poverty site, but social networks are not different across sites.
