RRHA battling bed bug infestations

She’s bed bug free now, but Conley tells CBS 6, the problem appears to be growing around her. She says neighbors and several friends in other Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority properties recently spotted bed bugs in their homes.
CBS 6 obtained documents which reveal more than 300 RRHA housing units throughout the city were infested with bed bugs at last check. Conley believes it’s because RRHA didn’t act soon enough to keep them from spreading.
One more data point that Richmond is the city’s worst landlord and should not be in the housing business. Why have we not knocked the projects down already and replaced them with a voucher system?

RRHA spends 900K to tackle bed bugs

So, RRHA is responsible for the spread of bed bugs by not addressing the issue in a timely manner. Great!
