Waste, Abuse Assure Changes In Section 8 Housing, Chester Smolski
Waste, Abuse Assure Changes In Section 8 Housing, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The series of articles and subsequent editorials on the Section 8 program that appeared in these papers have drawn several angry responses to the editor from residents of this government-assisted housing. Typical is the following: 'When something worthwhile is being done for the handicapped and elderly in Rhode Island, why do you do your best to kill it?...If the Section 8 program is hurt in any way because of your articles, you can sit back and laugh while 1,700 future applicants for housing are crying.'"

More Tenants Would Strengthen Downtown Retailing, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts

Housing Rehabilitation Working In Hoboken, Chester Smolski
Housing Rehabilitation Working In Hoboken, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts

Smolski Texts
"Congressman Henry S. Reuss of Wisconsin has given the answer most succinctly: "The most straightforward way to help cities is to provide jobs...From a city's standpoint, jobless citizens make no contributions to a community's revenues. But they add greatly to its costs for welfare, crime, and assorted ills."
Stimulus For R.I. Housing, Chester Smolski
Stimulus For R.I. Housing, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It was the single largest bond issue in the state and one of the largest in the nation. The Rhode Island Housing and Mortgage Finance Corporation (HMFC) has sold $163 million of tax-free bonds, $142 million of which will be made available at below market interest rates to persons with annual incomes up to $30,000, to buy homes in Rhode Island. This will have a sizable impact on the local real estate market and increase housing opportunities for many prospective home buyers."
