Signs o' the times

From around the wires:

- The Village Voice reports on tenants still locked out of their public housing apartments in New Orleans, including on some properties that activists argue could easily be made livable again.

- The Arkansas Traveler student paper reports on the evacuee situation in northwest Arkansas. Sounds dismal, though the local Salvation Army major told the paper, "Most of these folks were city people... They found the [northwest Arkansas] area refreshing and beautiful."

- A fresh retrospective on HOPE VI just out from the Urban Institute.

- An historical preservation group was just barred on procedural grounds from challenging a low-income housing project in San Diego.

- Sec'y Jackson present at the bill-signing ceremony to place a statue of Rosa Parks in the Capitol building.
