The goal of providing permanent supportive housing for the chronically homeless in Madison will be taking a big hit if a proposed sale of the properties at Rethke Terrace and Tree Lane Apartments goes through as planned.  After opening in 2016, the Housing First Initiative projects have been plagued by mismanagement and have recently gone into receivership.  Attempts to find new management, which have not been transparent, have supposedly failed and now tenants at these properties will be evicted with the properties being closed and put up for sale.  Dean Loumos, a representative of Affordable Housing Action Alliance, joins the 8 O’Clock Buzz to stress the need for court action to protect the tenants from being displaced and homeless once again.
