Scrutiny Intensifies as Houston Housing Authority Faces Audit Issues and Toxic Contamination Accusations

The Houston Housing Authority (HHA) is under scrutiny due to audit findings and allegations of suppressing information about toxic contamination on a property designated for low-income housing. An audit revealed "material weakness" in the HHA's program administration, while separate reports accuse the agency of failing to disclose contamination at a $130 million housing project. The contamination, known since 2019, was omitted from applications for state-backed bonds, raising concerns of potential legal violations. Community leaders criticize the situation, calling for accountability as vulnerable residents await action on compliance, safety, and transparency.
