Abstract:

The Cleveland-Holloway neighborhood revival is underway but it may force out some of the neighborhood’s longtime residents. The neighborhood is historic and in need of restoration, but it is being led by mostly white young professionals. The neighborhood is nearly two-thirds black and most residents are renters and are poor. There are social implications to restoring the neighborhood as the restoration may force longtime residents out who cannot afford to remodel their properties or deal with the rising home values and rents.
