IT’S SOMETIMES HARD to believe what one is reading. It appears the Northwest Georgia Public Housing Authority (Rome, Rockmart) is eliminating a policy banning gay or unmarried partners from living in its units because a court struck down that federal limitation elsewhere and now there’s a new national policy.

According to local Executive Director Sandra Hudson, “We have to follow all HUD policies. It means any two people can come and say they want to share a unit. But it’s not going to change anything for us. We haven’t had that issue here.”

Well, of course there have been no local applications before to create an issue here. They were banned, remember?

More accurately, given the length of the local public-housing waiting list it will likely be years before such a change actually happens.
