The CHS caseworker helped Dansby get a Housing Choice Voucher from the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh. The Housing Choice Voucher program has had, as of late, a lousy track record of getting needy families into homes locally. Frank Aggazio, executive director of the Housing Authority of Allegheny County, puts its success rate at about 50 percent. Many households are stuck on housing authority waiting lists for years before they reach that stage. Pittsburgh’s housing authority waiting list constantly fluctuates and has swelled to more than 6,600 within the last five years.
