When news that Larry Lingle, 85, would soon have to move from the public housing he’s...
. In 1978, HUD obligated $10 million to update the housing complex. The local housing authority and federal agency then spent the next years arguing over how the funds would be spent, culminating with HUD demanding the housing authority return the unused funds, the housing authority moving to sell the project to use the proceeds on public housing elsewhere and tenants suing the housing authority.
The housing authority has also approved selling 1,800 square feet of the public housing development’s land to the developer of the multi-million-dollar condo units at The Allen next door. The housing authority said, in an email, the sale is because the neighboring property encroaches onto its own. Negotiations are still underway.This time around, Allen Village Parkway will not lose any units, and the renovations come with the promise that everyone can return.
Melissa Medina, 45, said she was nervous about the relocation until she went to a meeting that explained her options. The ability to stay onsite soothed her nerves. She has two children at Hamilton Middle School, and she didn’t want them to have to change schools.
