About Bridgeport Housing Authority

The Housing Authority of the City of Bridgeport was created in 1936 to do away with the city's deplorable housing conditions. By 1945, 5,000 units were controlled by the Housing Authority of the City of Bridgeport including the sixth largest housing complex in the United States initially called Yellow Mill Village and later Father Panik Village.

In the late 1970s, Bridgeport's economy began declining, resulting in the flight of the more stable families to other communities and housing types. With this change came noted problems with the management of the Authority, landing it on the government's "Troubled List." This distinction resulted with the agency's operation being taken over by the private management firm known as Quadel Belson. Under this arrangement, Clarence H. Craig Jr. was brought in to oversee operations and the Authority's activities on a daily basis, while carefully assembling a team of professionals to assist him in returning the Authority back to sound financial footing and property management practices.
