Richmond is following a national trend to demolish outdated public housing communities.
The Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority says it’s tearing down public housing communities and replacing them with mixed-income dwellings. This new plan could impact 10,000 residents who are told will receive assistance with relocating temporarily or permanently. The promise of newer, cleaner and safer homes has some excited about prospects and others concerned about potential pitfalls.
