Other than NYC and a few other East Coast cities, the US has generally opted since the 1990s to pay for the poor to live in private housing rather than clustering a bunch of them together in public apartments. Housing projects in Chicago, St. Louis and other cities had become such nightmarish places and attracted such bad publicity from various murders and rapes that most of them have been closed and demolished. If you're interested in more about how and why public housing failed in the US, I'd recommend watching the documentary The Pruitt-Igoe Myth.
