• Secretive Texas housing agency builds an apartment empire 1,500 miles away (houstonchronicle.com) — An El Paso, Texas housing authority's nonprofit has been quietly buying apartment complexes across the Southeast, including a multifamily property in Greer, and converting many units to income-restricted housing.
