U.S. Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-2nd, on Friday stepped up his pressure on a federal officials to take action to help Stanley Holmes Village s low-income tenants in Atlantic City.
Residents of the Atlantic City Housing Authority s 420-unit public housing complex were heating their homes with ovens and stoves earlier this month during a "Code Blue" freeze, Van Drew said in his letter to Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge.
The majority faction on the Atlantic City Housing Authority board is trying to force a tenant representative who has been critical of them out of her seat, saying she resigned when she angrily left a meeting Aug. 24.
