The director of the Philadelphia Housing Authority is taking several weeks leave of his $350,000-a-year job amid a threatened foreclosure on his luxury home.
Carl Greene, 53, said he needs time to sort out personal issues that he blamed on unspecified physical and mental stress. No return date was given.
