Housing Authority of New Orleans Seeks to Feed Full House

The New Orleans Times-Picayune (4/27) reports, "For several years after Hurricane Katrina, federal administrators farmed out much of the work of the Housing Authority of New Orleans to contractors, allowing staff numbers to dwindle within the agency. HANO's headquarters in Gentilly was further depopulated a few years ago when, in a perplexing move, the agency opened up a Section 8 office on the West Bank and sent that department's employees there." But that appears to be changing, because the authority has about 300 employees at its headquarters on Touro Street in Gentilly.
