Will “PETRA” Kill Public Housing?

on Building Bridgeswww.buildingbridgesradio.org
Victor Bach, Senior Policy Analyst, The Community Service Society
Preservation, Enhancement, and Transformation of Rental Assistance,

known as “PETRA” is HUD’s new approach to public housing and represents

the greatest threat to a perspective that was put into effect in the nineteenth

and early twentieth centuries that government has a role in housing its citizenry. 

PETRA, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, is being rolled out as a plan to allegedly

address the repair and maintenance of an aging public housing stock, but in

actuality it represents the greatest challenge to the concept of housing in the

public domain and a major push on the ground towards the privatization of

public housing, or its elimination as we know it.
