Climate Change Displaces Residents of Affordable Housing Units
A recent editorial from Bloomberg Media asserts storms and flooding are damaging or destroying a growing share of the nation's 1.1 million public housing units. These homes and structures are getting replaced slowly or not at all, forcing the people who lived in them to leave their neighborhoods and often their cities. Harriet Tregoning, director of community planning and development for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) was quoted as stating, "This is an issue that HUD and public housing authorities across the country are going to have to face."
