00:00:44.940 - 00:00:57.810

painted and fixed up. This is the only way we can do it so far in our efforts of the last year, has been intense on the housing authority to get them to do something about it and they have done nothing. And so now it's time for

00:00:57.810 - 00:01:15.480

the people living here to start doing something for themselves. So we formed the union, has the Housing Authority threatened any action or taking any action against you? Oh yeah, we got uh caught some on sunday uh eviction notice, sunday, this is not the three day notice,

00:01:15.480 - 00:01:51.060

this is the eviction notice on entering the premises in three days. Uh Are you going to leave? Okay. Ain't going nowhere, man. I'll be right here. I've been here 14 years and I'm not ready to leave right now. Well,

00:01:51.060 - 00:02:05.980

the first project is the painting was gonna try to get at least one building painted uh to see, you know, can improvements be made. Uh And in the middle of this painting houses, thought officials came. And so the men there were trespassing and they didn't have

00:02:05.980 - 00:02:20.570

the right to do this so they could protect themselves. They left, they left us with half of the painted building here. What are you going to do now? Well, right now, our lawyers in court trying filing an injunction to borrow them from buying us from doing

00:02:20.570 - 00:02:36.450

this. What is your personal feeling about the housing authority's actions? What do you think about it? Well, I think we're missing this before. About 35 cents out of every one of the tennis dollars going to maintenance. And if you take a look around, you can see

00:02:36.840 - 00:02:38.850

very little maintenance is going on in this area.
