Nanticoke Housing Authority says money can be used for public housing complexes.

NANTICOKE – During the monthly Nanticoke Housing Authority meeting on Thursday, residents learned the agency received money to remodel and repaint many of the various public housing complexes, Authority Executive Director Perry Clay said.
Commissioners expressed interest in rescheduling a meeting with the Apollo Circle’s resident council president to find out what activities residents would like to see available for children living in the complex.
A previous meeting had been scheduled, but needed to be canceled because of a scheduling conflict.
“It would give them some activities for the kids,” Commissioner Gerri Hopiak said.
Board commissioners also learned the group has received a 5 percent discount on the workers’ compensation insurance since the authority started a security housing committee six months ago.
The purchasing, personnel, Section 8, and admissions and continued occupancy policies also must be updated, Clay said.
He said he hopes they will be ready for review at next month’s meeting, but admitted it might take till May.
