Shines contends on income bands in housing program
The piece argues section 236 allows tenants to stay in buildings as incomes rise, with rents varying from $130 to $220 for a 1 bedroom in Lake Village. It notes low income units near Woodlawn in Greenwood park and defends moderate income housing from accusations of segregation, calling such claims insulting and unfounded.
