Section 8 scrutinized amid South Suburban debate
A letter to the editor argues the South Suburban Housing Center’s report shows no area wide oversaturation of HACC Section 8 units. It notes Harvey at 6 percent, Park Forest 104 of 9,500, and Park Forest’s 50 Section 8 certificates amid protests. The writer urges more incisive press scrutiny and questions Homewood’s village leadership changes and the firing of Chris Wuellner, calling for accountability and tax impacts. The correspondence also includes reactions to crime coverage and a Flossmoor pickup-truck dispute.
