Protest Public Housing Cuts! Press Conference and Board of Supervisors Hearing Monday

Life will get much worse for residents of San Francisco's 6,000 public housing units if Congress doesn't take action now. Properties that are already in dire need of major repairs, more security services, improved management and more housing units will futher deteriorate if the latest HUD budget cuts remain unopposed. This year's federal assault on low-income housing comes in the form of $600 million dollars in cuts to the public housing operating budget. This is the only money that local housing authorities have to subsidize units and cover daily operating expenses like repairs.
