Sheree and her daughter are being displaced from their home by their landlord and the Housing Authority. She needs support in the struggle as she fights back against her landlord and the Housing Authority!
After years of declining conditions in the home, multiple major
leaks in the bathroom caused the ceiling in her dining room to cave
in. Despite years of Sheree reporting the issue, the landlord refused
to actually repair the problem and made only a few bandaid repairs.
The landlord called the Housing Authority for an inspection, after which they gave her 4 days to repair the ceiling and leaks. Unsurprisingly, the landlord did nothing and the Housing Authority has notified them that after September the Section 8 subsidy will be cut off for the property and Sheree will have to leave. She used the Housing Authority to effectively evict Sheree to save herself the trouble so that she can reclaim the house for her own use.
The Housing Authority's solution to slum conditions is to place the burden on the tenant, not the landlord, by ending the subsidy at their home and displacing them. This is similar to the story of a woman in the Northside, who is likely being displaced by the Housing Authority due to her landlord's negligence.
Sheree is fighting back for herself and her daughter, and we need to support her in her struggle! We are fundraising to cover her security deposit and moving fees for a new home while she fights to stay in her current home as long as she needs to find a new place.
