HUD Dep Sec Testifies At Contractor Trial for Rigging $12 Million HOPE VI Bid with Former Detroit Mayor for Project Where I Grew Up.

Detroit Free Press story is HERE.

HOPE VI funding was first approved for this project in 1996. Herman Gardens had 2,000+ units when I lived there; snapshot from Google Map pic below shows only a handful of units at newly named Gardenview Estates have been rebuilt on the site, 16 years after first HUD funding.
