City May Rule on Breakthrough Housing Plan
U S housing officials may approve Washington backed Breakthrough housing for West Long Beach within three weeks. Sami Roberts of the Long Beach Housing Development Company spoke at the Bret Harte Library meeting attended by about 180, with Ray Brosterhous and Wayne Sharp also present. The association backs Rev. Byrum Lee for a board seat if a vacancy arises as the nonprofit city agency plans to purchase 40 acres of American Gold Star Mothers Home property to redevelop its residential area aiding the Gold Star Home. The city applied for Breakthrough participation on Sept 19, part of eight prototype projects under HUD to ease housing shortages.
