Hundreds of local families face an uncertain future. For years they have struggled with broken sewer lines, cockroaches and heating problems. Now the families, living in seven low-income housing complexes, could see their homes sold in the coming weeks.
In 2015, the city sued the owner of the seven complexes, New Jersey-based PE Holdings LLC, to force repairs at the Alms Hill Apartments in Walnut Hills. Now the Alms and the other properties will be sold as part of a lawsuit, with Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas Judge Curt Hartman making the final decision on the sale.
Here to discuss the sale and the questions surrounding these properties are ; Politics and Government reporter ; and Executive Director Kevin Wright.
