Robert Menendez actually said...

"I am hoping that Choice Neighborhoods can go beyond that."

"HOPE VI changed the face of public housing in America, but in many neighborhoods that is simply not enough."

"Now, in your testimony you referred to leveraging, which I appreciate. In that context, can you explain the importance of partnerships to the success of Choice Neighborhoods."

"Choice builds on HOPE VI by recognizing that the problem of high concentrations of distressed housing... is not limited solely to public housing."
