New TCHC head wants to restore agency's credibility

Posted on May 15, 2012 by toronto Click Here For Article

The new head of the Toronto Community Housing Corporation says his priorities are to provide better services for tenants and improve trust in the agency, which has functioned without a permanent CEO for more than a year.

Gene Jones, currently the head of Detroit's public housing body, will officially begin as president and CEO of the TCHC on June 18. He will replace interim CEO Len Koroneos, who was appointed after a purge of the senior team amid a scandal over misspending.

"I dont think the Toronto Community Housing Corporation is all as bad as everyone says it is," Jones told CBC's Metro Morning in an interview.

"I want to just raise the bar, because we're going to deliver our services a whole lot better than before."

The main challenges facing residents, Jones said, are similar to those he has encountered in U.S. public housing bodies he has worked with in the past maintenance, crime, and pests like bed bugs .

Jones said he will be focused on the basics when he takes the helm of the agency "looking at staffing, how we deliver services, looking at our buildings."

When asked what he thought the biggest challenge facing him was, Jones replied: "Bringing credibility back to the agency."

He wants to ensure "that the residents believe in what we're going to do, the staff believe in the president and the CEO, and the board has a relief that they chose the right direction, the right person to lead that agency."

Part of addressing that challenge, said Jones, is communicating effectively with residents, being transparent and "making promises you can keep."

Good social housing, Jones said, "should be great housing. It should provide a temporary home for those [who] need a way to uplift themselves and be gainfully employed."

Bed bugs close Memphis dormitory

Posted on May 15, 2012 by admin Click Here For Article

MEMPHIS, TN -

(WMC-TV) - Bed bugs are back and this time they shut down a Memphis dorm.

The Shelby County Health Department had to close the Ben Hooks Job Corps dorm because of the bed bug infestation.

Students staying in the Ben Hooks Job Corps Center dorms suffered welts all over their bodies following a bed bug infestation that some say has plagued the center for two years.

Photos of the students show their arms, stomachs, and legs covered it painful red bite marks. The students learned "Good night, don't let the bed bugs bite" is not just a bedtime rhyme.

"We have students sleeping in chairs, sleeping on the floors because they're tired of being bitten by bed bugs," said former Job Corps board member Albert Robinson.

Robinson mentors students at the Ben Hooks Job Corps Center.

He said a pesky problem is shedding a dim light on Memphis and the State of Tennessee because students trained here come from all the country.

"We want it to be addressed and addressed properly so that the children can feel safe at the center," said Robinson.

After a series of complaints, the Shelby County Health Department went in for an inspection and found bed bugs behind the beds, in mattresses, on sheets, and along the baseboards.
