Leonard Pitts Jr notes East Lake Meadows, once a high poverty, crime ridden housing project ringed by barbed wire, transformed through a public private partnership led by Tom Cousins.

The model blends market rate and subsidized housing with required background checks, a charter school, and First Tee program in nearby golf facilities.
