    The Housing Authority won't do anything without approval from their Board of Commissioners. In my agency they meet monthly (check w/ your H.A.). I think that if a bunch of upset tenants showed up at the next meeting it will at least get them thinking (I don't know if it can be resinded). If you don't get a positive response, contact your local media (news/newspaper). Public agencies hate negative publicity!
