WABE's Week In Review: Forest Cove residents promised homes and Ga. lawmakers take on EV controversy

WABE’s Stephannie Stokes spent a year investigating issues at the Forest Cove public housing complex. And what she discovered was outrageous conditions and a city, state and federal government that residents say forgot about them.

While private companies owned and operated the buildings, receiving federal subsidies for the low-income tenants, units in the buildings were rat-infested, falling down and even left vacant after being shelled out from fire.

Promises were made over the years, but very little changed. Less than 24 hours after Part Five of our series ran, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens visited the complex and he made another promise: To relocate the tenants by the end of the week. No concrete plan has yet materialized (or at least been released publicly).
