Families in Cairo hope to get answers to questions they’ve had the last four months when they learned their housing complexes would shut down and they would be forced out of their homes. Tuesday, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson will visit the town.
“You came down here to see the truth and to see what’s going on in Cairo so I’m asking, why now?” resident Shayla Brooker said.
After HUD announced plans in April to empty and demolish two housing complexes in Cairo because of unrepairable conditions.
Brooker said she hopes she can stay in the town she’s grown to love.
