"The housing authority is taking every prudent step to look out for the welfare of the residents in Ujima Village," said Corde Carrillo, acting executive director of the housing authority.
After hearing from residents, 2nd District Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, who represents the area that includes Ujima Village, backed approving the 90-day relocation plan but changed the proposal to postpone the eviction orders. He also proposed that after the complex is emptied and demolished and environmental testing is completed, the land might be added to the nearby Earvin "Magic" Johnson Recreation Area.
