I reside in your district. I am a disabled senior. I have been residing in a Low Income Affordable Housing complex. Some of the residents have received a rent increase of 5% ($50.00 a month more). In my case, my rent shoots up to more then my Social Security income. So, effective 7/1/19 when I can not pay the $1,030.00 they require, I will be EVICTED and HOMELESS! I get no housing assistance and Housing Authority is NOT accepting any new applications! Management has stated they are exempt from the L.A. County Rent Moratorium with a 3% maximum cap, that they are under the L.I.H.T.C. and thusly, I.R.S. governed. The leases even give themselves the right to raise rents whenever they so choose and for whatever amount, up to 10% increments! . They have corresponded that they are trying to RECOUP some money for excessive plumbing costs recently, due to years of neglect and minimal attempts to repair these massive water floods internally! The air quality is loaded with contaminents! MOLD! Please investigate this management co.as they are practicing these unsafe practices not only in CA. but 13 other states! I formed a tenants association to try to deal with the on-going elder abuse, have approached several agencies, have been ignored, told think politics! Please, you are the last hope we here in Canyon Country have! Please!
They could build low income housing and homeless apt building in Acton land is cheeper than in the city
You are absolutely right Troy. So maybe Miss Hill will consider that and add to her list of priorities. Homelessness is an issue facing our country not just locally. Having said that … as such … it should be considered not a democratic or republican issue. Maybe the Democrats could reach across the isle and join hands with Republicans to address this NATIONS issue? Maybe or maybe not. To busy with politics …
