Section 126 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987 (Public Law 100-242, signed February 5, 1988) authorized a Public Housing Comprehensive Transition Demonstration (hereafter referred to as "the demonstration"). The goal of the demonstration is to move families out of public housing and off public assistance into private-sector housing and economic independence. The Act required that the demonstration be carried out in Charlotte, North Carolina, and up to 10 other sites. The Act also calls for an interim report and a final report. Both reports are to focus on the effectiveness of the demonstration. This is the interim report. The final reportwill be submitted after the termination of the demonstration in 1995.
