One Family Moves In, Another Forced Out

This article on the New Haven Independent website took place of course in New Haven. On October 18th Yale architect students inaugurated a house that they had competed to design. The address was 456 Orchard Street, next door, 452 was sprayed with bullets just the night before. Mayor DeStephano said he would look into the possible housing code violations. In the end, the landlord of 452 Orchard Street was not reaching her responsibilities as a section 8 house owner and all who were living on her property were giving 60 days to find a new home. She stopped receiving section 8's money and now will have to reapply to home section 8 participants.
