disabilities living in those homes? bigad shaban has been digging into it. >> why companies renovate buildings and manage them. public housing is in need of $26 billion worth of improvement. the federal government hopes offering tax credits will lure private investors to improve the buildings. over the past two years, 55% of san francisco public housing, that's 3400 apartments sold to nonprofits. our investigation revealed after the buildings are sold, the new owners aren't always given all the records and documentation to show exactly what needs to be repaired in the building, which can delay improvement for the low-income residents living inside. the federal government ranks san francisco public housing among the worst in america for years.

in a statement, they acknowledged the aging housing and lack of funding for repairs. thanks to non-profits buying the buildings, thousands are now living in renovated homes. watch the full investigation online at www.nbcbayarea.com/weinvestigate . >> if you have a story, call 888-996-tips. or send an e-mail to the unit www.nbcbayarea.com. the kate steinle murder case takes a day off today. when they return, it is the defense's turn. they rested but not without an unusual demonstration to show the suspect intended to kill steinle, the prosecution had a lead investigator take a weapon and the clothes that zarate wore the night of the shooting and showed the jury how the gun could have been concealed in his pocket. the gun barely fit inside the
