For the second year in a row, Jericho Circle was supposed to come down this summer and the residents relocated, but due to fights and disagreements between the City and the Housing Authority about half of the residents at Jericho remain living in sub-par conditions.
While community violence has died down in recent years, the summer heat, mixed with high tensions as neighbors all fight for the same section 8 housing, has lead to a few outbreaks this summer.
Not only are the residents affected, but the school district who was not expecting to be responsible for the over 100 students coming from Jericho, now has to bus and provide for these kids on an already stressed budget.
