Timeline of Ferndale Housing Commission’s Struggles and Progress
(Crystal A. Proxmire, June 28, 2015)
After Ferndale Housing Director Deborah Wilson was arrested (and later convicted) of using her job to enter the homes of elderly and disabled residents and steal prescription medicine, a series of stories and investigations has begun to shed light on multiple other problems in the Ferndale Housing Commission (FHC).
This is our ongoing list of stories about the problems uncovered, and more recently the progress that is being made in bringing the program back up to HUD standards.
