Draining ties: Tie quality versus content in low-income women’s social networks when displaced by redevelopment

Public housing redevelopment has the potential to disrupt resident social support social networks. In reaction to Curley’s (2009) finding that some relocated residents from the Maverick HOPE VI site were able to slough off non-reciprocal social support ties — ”draining ties” — this paper hypothesizes that relocation does not alter patterns of interaction. That is, if someone depended on neighbors for social support, they continued to do so; if someone was avoidant, they continued to do that. A promising direction for social interventions to support residents in their relocation may be to more deliberately help relocated residents maintain social support networks, so that those who were avoiding “draining ties” in public housing do not lose out on potentially beneficial social ties in their new settings.
