- Description:
- Newspaper assignment sheet attached to print verso identifies photographer (William Berry): "Because of changing demographics and trends in housing, AHA has a surplus of 5 and 6 bedroom apartments. They may convert them into unit for homeless women and children ... l-r Denise Sanford, 8, her brother, Jovan Sanford and Demontez Adams stand in front of an unoccupied 6 bedroom apt at East Lake Meadows Housing Project. They live in the same projects." Newspaper caption: "Hundreds of Atlanta families are too small for public housing. More than 500 Atlanta families aren't large enough to get public housing they urgently need. Most of them have applied for one- or two-bedroom apartments. If the families were larger, odds are they could move into an apartment today. At least 300 of the Atlanta Housing Authority's four-, five- and six-bedroom units are empty -- boarded up and subject to vandalism." Caption date-stamped "Tue Mar 27 1990 J.C."
