Housing authority scrutinized for lack of oversight

Problems with public housing in Kyle have come forward as city officials try to get a handle on allegations by federal authorities regarding administrator pay, maintenance problems and lack of oversight. 

The Kyle Housing Authority, which oversees two public housing properties in Kyle, was the subject of a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) assessment that discovered “issues of concern.” 

According to a letter addressed to KHA Executive Director Vickie Simpson, the concerns extended to the authority’s “internal controls, funding, and its authorized utilization.”
