People who have been relocated by the city
community development Department are living
in houses which violate local housing codes,
according to a report on 13 cases investigated by
the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
The report, summarized in a letter to city
manager Orville Powell from HUD area office
manager Mr. Betsy Stafford, was the result of a
relocation monitoring visit by HUD officials from
Greensboro and Washington," DrC. on NovemF
ber 27, 1978.
Because of the investigation conducted by HUD
officials, all the relocation cases handled by the
community development Department are being

persons may receive higher relocation payments.
