Las Vegas follows Atlanta's lead

The Las Vegas Sun points to AHA's work as an example for the Nevada city. The article states:

The Las Vegas agency’s move occurred a day before the Atlanta Housing Authority got approval from HUD to demolish 650 apartments known as Bowen Homes. It was one of the last steps for the Atlanta agency after 13 years of demolishing 10,000 apartments.

Rick White, its spokesman, said his city was “the first to go down this road,” starting in 1994. HUD hosted a meeting last month in Atlanta to talk with housing authority chiefs from across the country about replacing public housing with mixed-income housing. The Atlanta Housing Authority’s president and executive director, Renee Lewis Glover, was the keynote speaker.

White said his agency determined in the 1990s that “public housing is a failed policy, and in many ways an immoral policy.”
