Abstract
Description
In this interview with Tinassa Tucker, she talks about how many of her family members lived in the same building as her in Cleaborn Homes, including her sister Vanessa Tucker and cousin Kluzeskesi Tucker. She remembers Cleaborn Homes fondly and describes some of the different local programs including the Ross Group that helped residents find gainful employment. She also describes the difficulties many residents had trying to find to homes in 2010, and how the MHA tried to aid the transition process.
