Baltimore Public Housing

The city of Baltimore received a $300 million grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to replace some of its most rundown and dangerous public housing developments. Many of the families who lived in one of these projects, Lexington Terrace, say that even though the buildings were a haven for drug dealers and posed serious hazards to their children, they'll still miss the place they called home. Amy Bernstein reports from Baltimore.
