City officials say since July 2021, the Atlantic City Housing Authority has been under the oversight of the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development or HUD.
Unique Johnson, 37, took Action News inside her apartment in Stanley Holmes Village, a complex managed by the Atlantic City Housing Authority."I came in thinking 'about to start my dinner, get ready for my Thanksgiving dinner.' I come in, there's no heat on in my house. And I go to my water, there's no hot water," said Johnson.
Small says when the city learned about heat and hot water outages and trash pickup backlogs, an emergency declaration was made in October, giving the city more power to step in. "These buildings are very old," said Clarke. "And there needs to be a transition at this time to help these residents find better living conditions and hopefully we can all work together to try to make that happen."
