Abstract

a tenant inquired of him whether the HHA had an eviction board he answered, It does, you're looking at him. Tenants who are bluffed out do not get the protections of a hearing and do not get a chance to remain in housing by meeting the conditions of an eviction board. Cooptative methods of increasing accountability, like procedural methods, can be undermined when unsympathetic line officers are able to avoid the control structure which supports them.18
