The Rochester Housing Authority has a new director, nearly two years after the last one was let go.
John Hill starts as head of the RHA on Monday. He’s coming from the Southern Nevada Housing Authority in the Las Vegas area, where authority board members voted to terminate his contract more than two years early. He’d been criticized for hiring and firing decisions and his handling of federal lawsuits, according to articles in the Las Vegas Review-Journal newspaper.
Rochester Housing Authority Board Chair George Moses says they’ve vetted hill thoroughly and are confident he’s a good fit for Rochester.
