PHA President and CEO on Dr. Ben Carson as next HUD Secretary
(PHILADELPHIA-December 5, 2016) - I look forward to working with
Dr. Carson in his new role. His life story, rising from poverty to
become a renowned thought leader across several disciplines, is
very compelling and gives him a special understanding of the
residents we serve.
We anticipate that under his leadership, HUD will continue to
play a major role in eradicating homelessness and using innovative
programs such as Moving to Work, Choice Neighborhoods, the Rental
Assistance Demonstration and other vital initiatives to support
neighborhood revitalization, strengthen low-income communities and
address the housing needs of citizens with disabilities, low-income
seniors and families in Philadelphia.
