CANTON – Agency emails contradict some statements Stark Metropolitan Housing Authority Executive Director Herman Hill has made about the purchase of a house and a job provided for its tenant.
The Canton Repository reported in February that the Housing Authority bought a house on 41st Street NW in the Plain Local Schools system. It was leased to Section 8 voucher-holder Britnee Allen of Orrville; she then was hired for a newly-added agency position.
Hill knew Allen. He and Allen s seventh-grade sons, both now living in the Plain Local school system, played on a travel basketball team in 2017, and have played against each other since.
