The John A. F. Hall Manor is a neighborhood of mixed-income housing in South Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Managed by the Harrisburg Housing Authority, it was named after former mayor John A. F. Hall.[1] It is the city's largest housing project. Hall Manor was initially a tight-knit, low-income community where families recalled a safe and vibrant upbringing, but has suffered from increased crime in recent decades.[2][3]

History and architectural features
Built in 1953, there are five hundred and forty apartments in fifty-four buildings, which are spread over forty-three acres.[4]
The HHA plans to re-submit an application for a planning grant under the Choice Neighborhood Program, and apply funds to reconfigure the neighborhood with more vibrant amenities currently non-existent, and eventually redevelop it in the long term.[5][6]
In the adjacent John N. Hall Club House (named after unrelated John Newton Hall, a late civic philanthropist from Camp Hill)[7] is one of the Harrisburg Boys & Girls Clubs of America locations. Also present is a community center with day-care and on-site family services and medical facilities.[4]
