Portsmouth's Housing Authority director talks about HUD review

(RECAP: The Portsmouth Redevelopment and Housing Authority remains under fire and facing questions about conditions in the city’s public housing while at the same time its board of commissioners prepare for an upcoming federal review. “Just because they don’t see us doing stuff they think we’re not doing anything,” says PRHA’s interim executive director, Donnell Brown. Once PRHA’s special meeting on Wednesday opened back up to the public its interim executive director tells 13News Now that it’ll be ready for HUD’s upcoming on-site review and will have submitted or have ready all 28 requested items such as banking information, budgets, and credit card statements. “I don’t know what they’re going to find because honestly you’ve got to remember we are human we make mistakes but I don’t think there’s anything to the level of removing the board,” Brown says. That is exactly what several members of the Portsmouth City Council say they want.)
