The City of Pittsburg is helping its low income residents. Tuesday night the City Commission approved something that will help more people afford rent. “Right now we have seen a large increase of rent going up in Pittsburg and so our payment standards are not reflecting that,” said Megan Keener, Housing Manager for Pittsburg Public Housing Authority. Tuesday night, the Pittsburg City Commission approved increasing its Section 8 payment standards. “It would affect the individuals that are currently housed and we would adjust the rent. And we would contact the individuals who currently have vouchers and let them know the payment increased. And then moving forward our applicants will have a better chance,” Keener added.
