The Brian Lehrer Show | Dec 18, 2018

HUD secretary Ben Carson is threatening to put NYCHA in "substantial default" if the housing agency does not come up with a satisfactory plan by January 31 to repair the housing stock. Courtney Gross, political reporter at NY1 News, and Judith Goldiner, attorney-in-charge of the Civil Law Reform Unit at The Legal Aid Society, discuss what’s at stake. They are joined by David Jones, president and CEO of the Community Service Society of New York (CSS).
