"A major overhaul is coming to a historic public housing community in north Birmingham, the 52-year-old Collegeville complex.The goal is to create a new image for the community than the typical public housing apartments that people see around Birmingham.Michael Lundy, the president of the Birmingham Housing Authority, recently met with people who live in the community, and north Birmingham neighborhood leaders to create a plan for the Collegeville complex.Long-term options include partial or total demolition, and remodeling.The overall goal for Lundy is reducing the number of people living in traditional, institutional public housing and building mixed-income houses for them to call home.\"How can we work with our residents to break the cycle of generational poverty and generational public housing? We have to connect them to work opportunities to educational opportunities to get them to a point to link them to services so they move up and out of public housing,\" Lundy said.The Birmingham Housing Authority is also considering revitalizing Southtown Court and Loveman Village public housing communities.Work is expected to start in Collegeville in the next two years."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
