@iamkaaha: MPHA has the money to maintain and repairs all the sites HOWEVER they say that they don’t have enough money and that they need to privatize. So what’s the truth? #DefendPublicHousing
The city for DECADES have been allowing MPHA to do whatever they want. They are sitting on a 23 million dollar surplus #DefendPublicHousing
@iamkaaha: MPHA is exempt from the Faircloth Limit that prevents public housing authorities from building new public housing except to recoup lost units. Which means MPHA CAN get more money to build units from HUD. #DefendPublicHousing
@iamkaaha: MPHA transfers the deceleration of trust (its a doc that keeps public housing public) to LURA (Lamd Use Restrictive Agreement). LURA is a lease which allows private investors to lease public land through low-income tax credits for a specific time. #DefendPublicHousing

#DefendPublicHousing the system is co-opting terms like “affordability” just to deceive us.
@iamkaaha: After the demotion of Heritage Park when residents tried to return back, MPHA turned them away.
