		In recent years, many such projects have been torn down, renovated or replaced after criticism that the concentration of poverty in economically depressed areas, inadequate management of the buildings, and government indifference have contributed to increased crime.
		Indeed, US public housing continues to have a reputation for violence, drug use, and prostitution, leading to the passage, in 1996, of a federal "one strike you're out" law, calling for the eviction of project tenants whose housing units are the scene of certain types of criminal activity, especially that which is drug-related.
		This assistance can be 'project based,' which applies to specific properties, or 'tenant based,' which provides tenants with a voucher they can use anywhere vouchers are accepted.

	"Sheep-Dip Approaches Do Not Work" -- Managers Must Be Committed to Process Improvement
		According to Ron Jeffries, "It is not enough to send around a memo that says 'Everyone do XP.' Sheep-dip approaches to process improvement do not work.
		Its practices are applicable to a wide range of projects, but it is primarily focused on colocated teams of around a dozen developers.
		Jeffries recommends that upper management undertake a course of action that provides the organization the time to learn how to work in the new XP environment if they truly want to realize the benefits of this process improvement effort:

		Jeffries has a track record of important-sounding development plans, but bricks-and-mortar success has been elusive for him.
		In early 2002, Jeffries worked with UB to craft a complicated real-estate transaction that would have put Winans Mansion on the 1200 block of St. Paul Street, owned by Agora Publishing, into the university’s hands.
		As for the other claims made by Jeffries to trolley-engineer Stone—that 1,800 students would be paid to attend the school, that a new state office building for 1,500 workers would be built at Broadway and North—they sound optimistic but are hard to verify.

		We hate the idea of having to change our code in the future for several reasons." Mostly, though, he said the reluctance to adopt a new approach reflects the reality that change of any sort is hard to accomplish.
		"Since one of the goals of XP is to bring down the cost of change, it doesn't work as well in huge-scale engineering projects, such as the space shuttle, where the specifications have to be nailed down," he noted.
		According to Jeffries, "XP works best for medium-sized teams where a product can be delivered in stages, and where there's freedom to experiment with some of the more controversial techniques."

	Jeffries, Joshua C. (fl. 1907 - 1927) -- Philadelphia Architects and Buildings
		By August 1908 Joshua C. Jeffries is listed by the Gage Publishing Co. "List of Architects" as head draftsman for Ballinger & Perrot, but by 1908 he has begun to appear independently in the Philadelphia Real Estate Record and Builders Guide, with several projects noted in New Jersey.
		From 1908 to 1924 Jeffries lists himself as an architect in the Philadelphia city directories, with offices in the Mutual Life Building until 1922 when his listing changes to 712 Walnut Street.
		It is possible that after this time he moved to New Jersey because later records indicate an informal association between him and veteran architect Arnold Moses.

		Still standing today the church continues on while the Jeffries Housing comes to an end.
		Built to create low cost housing, at the same time many nearby beautiful 19th Century homes were falling into ruin, the Jeffries Project quickly evolved into an impersonal, crime ridden environment.
		Poorly managed, it became largely vacated as residents opted for the surfeit of low costs homes and apartments left in wake of the mass suburbanization of Detroit.
