The New ACORN Housing Corporation

ACORN Housing recently changed its name to Affordable Housing Centers of America. That continues a trend of former ACORN affiliates changing their name.

More interestingly, the new organizations shows as one of its chief supporters, Henry Cisneros. That's the same Cisneros that's the former HUD secretary. Here's what Cisneros says about the organization on their front page.

Organizations come and go and times change, but commitment to helping our fellow citizens should never fade. It is this commitment to helping our fellow citizens that is the true character of those who have been in this fight. It is the character of Affordable Housing Centers of America helping people who need it most. As Mayor of San Antonio, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and a private developer, I have seen the benefits of this work up close, and I look forward to working with you.
