Housing authority scores high on federal test

CHAMPAIGN — The Housing Authority of Champaign County has scored a “high performer” 90 out of 100 on a federal inspection, and next year wants a perfect score, though one public housing building was given a lower mark.

The test, called the Public Housing Assessment System, is administered annually by inspections from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development.
