A Bronx teen grapples with a controversial plan for NYCHA apartments

When Fanta Kaba was growing up, her family moved around a lot. Harlem, Queens, the Bronx, even North Carolina for a while. But when they moved into public housing, they finally found stability. Now, a controversial plan is changing the way public housing operates — and a lot of residents are scared about the future of their homes.

In this installment of Radio Rookies, Fanta speaks with residents, organizers and officials as she tries to find out what this program means for families like hers.
