IF YOU GOWhat: Chattanooga Housing Authority Board meetingWhat: Decision about approving 2013 Agency Plan is included on the agenda; recommendations from the public will be considered.When: 12:30 p.m. TuesdayWhere: CHA main office, 801 N. Holtzclaw Ave.

The Chattanooga Housing Authority wants to have a communitywide discussion about the future of the city’s two largest and oldest public housing sites.

And Purpose Built Communities may be part of the conversation.

Joe Clark, newly elected vice president of the Westside Community Association, said he thought the Atlanta-based nonprofit group was out of the picture after the uproar by Westside residents over its mixed-income housing model for the community.

The group, once considered an agency that could help redevelop the Westside, hasn’t met with the housing authority since encountering the groundswell of opposition in April. But CHA officials said the agency backed by billionaire Warren Buffet still may be considered.
