Robert Dunlap and his mother are among six families remaining at Chattanooga’s Harriet Tubman public housing site.
It’s been more than a year since Chattanooga Housing Authority officials announced that the site would be vacated and sold.
But the Dunlaps haven’t moved yet because they were unable to find a landlord willing to accept the government-issued rental vouchers distributed to many of those who have been displaced from Tubman and other CHA housing sites.
Robert Dunlap looked for at least three months before finding a landlord willing to accept his payment for a two-bedroom apartment. The 2012 voucher payment is $628 for a two-bedroom apartment.
