I appreciate a differing view on this, Cherie, but this is still very much in the early planning stages, and Purpose Built has a pretty strong track record, as far as I can tell. I think a lot of your questions (which are valid ones) will be addressed as this process moves forward.

Initially, though, I think that this excerpt from the article provides some context into how they will relocate and ultimately bring back residents to the new development, which will include giving low-income tenants housing options that have not been available to them in a very long time:

"Simmons recognizes the residents have a long haul ahead. Some have been living in the same apartments for generations. For better and worse, those apartments will be gone. The housing authority has already been talking with local landlords about the need to find housing for tenants during construction.

But the construction also opens a door that has been closed for more than a decade in Syracuse and elsewhere: Section 8 housing choice vouchers. [B]The waiting list for these vouchers in Syracuse has been closed for 10 years and there are still 3,000 people on it. But tenants whose buildings are going to be knocked down will get these federal rental assistance vouchers. They can be used anywhere in the U.S.[/B]"
