Houston apartment residents protest end of federal housing contract that could displace 150 families
Residents and activists outside Southlawn Palms protest the Houston Housing Authority's decision to end its contract with the apartment complex's owner, meaning the city will no longer subsidize the rent of 150 low-income families that inhabit the complex.
“We will not let this mother give birth under a bridge,” said the Rev. David Jeremiah, a community activist. “How do you sleep at night? Putting these babies out? Who are you? You the devil – I said it.”“If things don’t go right, we are going to be homeless,” Clary said. “We're not going to know where to go. … I have to do whatever I have to do to fight for my family.”
The HHA also said that residents will be allowed to stay in units if they pass inspection, and that the agency will work to provide “alternative suitable housing that supports their health and safety.” Candice Matthews, executive director at the Children of Diversity Foster Adoption Agency, said every unit had passed when an additional inspection was commissioned.
