Description
Lorraine Robinson at the doorway of her new home on Tasker st . Several dozen followers of state Rep . T . Milton Street (D-Phila.) today began occupying vacant units of theTasker Homes public housing project at 31st and Tasker sts . in the Grays Ferry section of Philadelphia , The move-in process generally was peaceful and orderly . In contrast to last night's demonstration at the site which sparked several rachial confrontations in the predominantly white South Philadelphoia neighborhood . Phila . Housing Authority (PHA) officials said the homes were only "open for inspection " and not for rehabitation , since they lack electricity , water and other utilities . The 121 units were emptied three years ago to accommodate senior citizen housing . But renovation of the units , based on the receipt of federal funds has not started .
