Gulf Watch: N.O. housing activists seek HUD investigation

The residents of Survivors' Village -- a tent city erected in New Orleans last year to protest plans to tear down virtually undamaged public housing complexes despite a severe affordable housing crisis -- are calling on the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Inspector General to investigate the proposed demolition. To help make that happen, they're asking concerned citizens to send letters, faxes or e-mails to the IG. For more details on the campaign, visit the group's Web site.
