CORRECTION: An editorial error caused John McLaren’s letter to the editor (April 18, 2002) to misstate his estimate that the total local funds that Seattle Housing Authority has leveraged for its HOPE VI redevelopments. McLaren estimates that SHA is using nearly half a billion dollars from the Housing Trust Fund, tax credits, the Seattle Housing Levy, and the federal HOME fund – on top of the $140 million in federal HOPE VI money already received.
