Yes, it s affordable . but it s not safe and it s not decent living conditions, said Kassandra Russo, 29, who lives in the Gage Gardens housing complex in the northeast area.
Russo and a handful of others, including some from public housing units at Jackson-Sherrick in the southeast section, have helped organize and operate the private Facebook group Exposing Stark Metropolitan Housing Authority. Created two weeks ago, it now has 165 members.
Using a time-tested notion that strength comes in numbers, members are using the social media platform to organize. Ultimately, they want to collect information and facts about maintenance problems, safety concerns and communication gaps, which can be delivered to Housing Authority officials.
