Replying to @NydiaVelazquez @NYCHA and

You’re entitled to your opinion, but w/all due respect, more money doesn’t fix gross mismanagement & fraud. Until the federal monitor identifies where HUD’s $30 MILLION PER WEEK is going, I’m not advocating for more b/c it’s NOT going to REPAIRS! @NYCHA spent $341M on union OT!

Now Playing Trump vetoes national...


New York (CNN)David Williams walked up to his longtime neighbor at the nation's largest public housing development to ask about the important visitor who'd been crashing on her living room floor.


Before April Simpson could answer, Williams, 66, tore into what he called President Donald Trump's token appointment of an African-American brain surgeon with no relevant expertise to head the US Department Housing and Urban Development, which subsidizes complexes nationwide for low-income residents. And he reminded her of the President's attempts to impose draconian cuts on public housing, already plagued at many sites with leaks, busted heating and vermin.



"I'm like, really?" Williams asked incredulously.
Simpson wouldn't bite.

'I'm not talking about Trump," replied the tenant association president at New York's Queensbridge Houses. "I'm not talking about politics. I'm talking about the residents."

Simpson, 57, had been steering clear of rhetoric as she pressed her neighborhood's case to her special houseguest: Lynne Patton, a HUD regional administrator and longtime Trump family associate who, for the past month, has spent her weekday nights in four New York public housing projects...............................




...............At the same time, Patton told CNN she has the first family's blessing to follow in the President's footsteps as a reality TV star, even as she serves as a high-ranking federal housing official. She said she hasn't spoken about the gambit with the President himself.
The show, still in development, about black Republicans would overlap with Patton's tenure as HUD regional director for New York and New Jersey, which provides rental assistance to more than 800,000 households and homeless services to more than 80,000 people............................








Queensbridge Houses is the largest public housing complex in the country.
