Low-income communities of color experience significant political, economic, and health inequities and, not unrelatedly, are disproportionately exposed to violent crime than are residents of higher income communities. In an effort to mitigate concentrations of poverty and crime, governmental agencies have partnered with affordable housing developers to redevelop public housing "projects" into mixed-income communities and to do so within a "trauma-informed" framework. The current study analyzes how residents have historically and contemporaneously negotiated, endured, and resisted structural and interpersonal violence in 2 long-standing, predominately African American, public housing communities undergoing a public-private housing redevelopment initiative. Interviews with 44 adult public housing residents (age range = 18-75 years; 82% African American/Black) were conducted during a 2-year period while residents' homes were being demolished and rebuilt into mixed-income communities. Analysis of in-depth interviews used constructivist grounded theory principles to reveal a common theme and basic social process of the ongoing formation of with subthemes focusing on the ways homeplace emerges through shared lineage, knowing and caring practices; how homeplace is maintained through networks of protection in unsafe contexts; how homeplace is disrupted as a result of redevelopment activities; and the reclamation of homeplace during redevelopment in the service of hope and healing. These findings offer a nuanced view of resident's lived experiences of place-based trauma and collective resistance and resilience, while also highlighting the place-specific ways in which redevelopment unsettles deeply rooted sociocultural configurations of home and community.

低收入的有色人种社区经历着显著的政治、经济和健康方面的不平等，而且与这一情况不无关联的是，他们比高收入社区的居民更容易遭受暴力犯罪。为了缓解贫困和犯罪的集中问题，政府机构与经济适用房开发商合作，将公共住房“项目”重新开发为混合收入社区，并在“创伤知情”框架内进行。本研究分析了在经历公共-私人住房重建计划的两个长期存在的、以非裔美国人为主的公共住房社区中，居民们如何在历史上和当代协商、忍受和抵制结构性和人际暴力。在居民的房屋被拆除并重建为混合收入社区的两年期间，对 44 名成年公共住房居民（年龄范围为 18-75 岁；82%为非裔美国人/黑种人）进行了访谈。对深入访谈的分析采用了建构主义扎根理论原则，揭示了一个共同的主题和基本的社会过程，即共同形成的过程，并有子主题集中在通过共同的血统、了解和关怀实践来体现家园的方式；在不安全的背景下，如何通过保护网络来维持家园；由于重新开发活动，家园如何被打乱；以及在重新开发过程中为了希望和治愈而重新获得家园。这些发现提供了一个细致入微的视角，了解居民基于地点的创伤和集体抵抗和适应能力的生活体验，同时也突出了重新开发如何扰乱家庭和社区根深蒂固的社会文化结构的特定地点方式。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
