NYCHA has faced criticism from state lawmakers for
an apparent lack of communication, as well as failing to show sufficient «tenant engagement» or to reveal details about the proposal.
But it's hard not to think that the same conditions that are said to have fostered the alleged corruption at SUNY Poly — including secret
communications and a
lack of normal public competitive bidding procedures — didn't also contribute to this
apparent financial mess.
«Despite his
apparent lack of affordable housing experience, with his
communication skills, Dr. Carson has the ability to bring the message
of poverty alleviation to people nationwide,» said Robert C. Moss, chairman
of the Housing Advisory Group and national director
of Governmental Affairs
of CohnReznick's affordable housing efforts.
