How many employees (before the cut) does the JCHA employ?
I was a bit surprised by the number of people, 50, but what % is this? Also, they oversee 2600 homes in JC? What is an adequate house-employee ratio? It would be nice to see some other cuts in government across the board and not just this division. If a company is loosing money it must cut costs, see Ford.

Maria Maio gets a federal salary of $150,000.00 plus a government car and other benefits to be the Director of the Housing Authority.
A few non paid volunteers on her board of directors demanded that she take a pay cut due to the federal housing budget cut but she refused, they are trying to find a way to get her fired.

Guess who'll benefit from the 'disinvestment in public housing'? I really need to get a cheque account and make some donations!

50 layoffs of housing agency staff
KEN THORBOURNE -- JERSEY JOURNAL - JAN 27 The Jersey City Housing Authority, reeling from its largest budget cuts to date, will lay off 50 workers, the authority's director said this week. Appearing before the City Council on Wednesday and then the Hudson County Board of Freeholders the next day, Jersey City Housing Authority Executive Director Maria Maio said the federal government cut her agency's budget by $3.6 million this year. Unlike last year, when the agency suffered a $2.8 million cut but could confine layoffs to mostly white-collar workers, this budget slash will affect the response time the agency's 2,600 households can expect from maintenance workers such as plumbers and electricians, Maio said. This is part of the pattern of the "federal government's disinvestment in public housing," Maio told City Council members. "There is a crisis affecting public housing," she said. The layoffs will take effect March 9 and include 30 maintenance workers among the 50 getting axed, she said. Maio said she calculated the cuts based on the amount of money the agency is entitled to under a formula worked out by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development.
