The Power Of Public Housing

Paul Sancya / AP Public housing gets a bad rap, but Maddie Garrett has no complaints. She’s lived in the same few blocks on Austin’s east side for 50 years, moving between one of the nation’s oldest public-housing complexes, Rosewood Courts, and a senior housing development called Salina Apartments. When her family grew, the housing authority helped her move to a bigger apartment; when her kids moved away, she moved back to a smaller one.
