SCATTERED SITES In 1989 the Providence Housing Authority demolished three high-rise structures at the Hartford Park development. These units were replaced with 252 units of single and duplex "scattered site" housing located throughout the city. Today the PHA has 244 units of scattered site housing because over the past several years, the PHA has sold six of its single-family units under the 5(h) homeownership program. This program allows housing authorities to sell units to qualified public housing residents who participate in the Family Self-Sufficiency Program.
