Shame On HUD!!! HUD VOUCHER HOME BUYER NIGHTMARE!!! for the People and Homebuyer!?.

[Guest guest]

I'm upset now HUD said they where going to

send a mold inspector that was what I called them about nothing else. they

sent and HUD inspector that knows nothing about Nothing.

when I moved into my place two screen needed to be put on the windows to

this day no screens and there was and inspector before I moved in and a few

since I've moved in. I told them and the Landlord about the problems to this

day nothing has been done. I've also told the Landlord and HUD about the

Air-Condition system if I put it on I can't walk on my own Nothing has been

done over a year latter!?.

if I put it in writing I'm surely on the Street that will happen any way if

I don't get help before? I moved in the end of March so I would have to move

by the end of Feb. Before I moved into a place 4/15/04 had to be out by

4/1/05 it was and awful place. Florida rent Finder placed me there on

purpose go figure and I was Pushed by the Guy that managed Florida rent

finders Long story.

HUD Told me I had to call the County I did they said no one could do a thing

you get the run around the inspector that come his name was Adam Rose they

know nothing about mold. I took his Picture then called HUD my worker said

I wasn't told they where going to send a mold tester. I was socked if I call

about one problem why send someone that doesn't know a thing about the

problem and if the inspectors in the past hasn't done a thing, Why send them

out I don't get it.

the Mold tester I have to call knows the one I've used

in the past. the NAACP sent here she never come to Boca To test anything for

me. In Boca I didn't have this type of problem 1994 to 2002 never saw mold

just the smell.

They fixed it removed the carpet I got better but other things was going on

from the first year I moved in the People use to come to me with their

problems I started going to the HUD meetings. I was harassed for years.

HUD Told me to call the Miami Office 305-536-4443 talked to Brain Gilmore he

said the Supervisor was too busy they say they will call me back tomorrow funny

thing it's also in their Building. they are working in it and it's bad very bad

in the City Building HUD is on the second floor Hummmmmm.

Elvira Letter To HUD Housing

Attention: Goombs

RE: Elvira

Dear Mr. Goombs,

I have attempted many times to resolve this issue between HUD and

myself. I

hoped that HUD would clean up their mess since it was them that

approved me

living in the apartment that was full of mold. Still they act as if I

am crazy.

It is a known fact the HUD allows their clients to move into situations

such as

this one MOLD. Having a voucher should not allow HUD to have the right to

make

decisions that would cause a person harm to their health or property.

As I stated in my previous letters, I have been living under HUD in

both Boca

Raton and Fort Lauderdale for the past ten years. Fort Lauderdale is

far worse

and a change is needed. HUD?s inspectors need to be better trained!

They need

to know what to look for but because they are not trained properly, the

tenets

are suffering with their health. We all know that there is mold in HUD

approved

houses, apartments, etc. Now, what are you going to do about it?

I am sick in my body from this mold and I am sick of having to play

this tennis

game with HUD to get them to do what they should have done many months

ago

which is to have my belongings cleaned. I had to wait for HUD to

approve the

apartment before I moved in and since they gave the okay, it is their

responsibility to get this mold out of my things. I have not asked you

for an

unreasonable compensation. I have only asked that you clean my property

and to

find me a clean place to live without any mold. I have forwarded

several notes

from my doctors concerning the severity of me living in mold and the

illness

that I now have because of it. No one has taken my doctors or myself

seriously.

As my doctor previously stated, I need a live-in assistant to help me

due to my

condition. A two bedroom\two bath apartment with tile is necessary for

me.

I have checked out HUD listings and the apartments that I looked at

looked like

something in the " lowest of income " areas. Is this why nothing is being

done to

these apartments because you allow them to be listed under HUD?s name?

If so,

then shame on HUD. Shame on HUD. When are you really going to care

about the

people. Right before departmental changes\elections or must you wait

for many

others to suffer?

I would like to remind you of my story: I have been sexually harassed

twice in

Boca Raton (police records are on file), effected by mold in the Tennis

Club,

and I?ve overpaid my rent the entire time I was there; which to this

day has

not been refunded to me. You have record that fraud has been

perpetrated

against me as well as the evictions that are filed on me while living

under HUD

not to mention I always have paid my rent on time. (I was told that HUD

pays

the rent late each month which was one reason I believe I was evicted

once

before but most of all it was the Mold). I feel like the system has

taken

advantage of myself and others.

Ms. Kay Baxter, HUD?s attorney, offered me $400 Shame on You, but there

was no

one willing to

clean all my property for that little money. If HUD can find someone

who is

willing to clean my things for that amount of money, then please do so.

I

waited for HUD to come to my rescue but while waiting for HUD, I was

evicted

and my things were thrown out to the street. I had no where to go

although I

have a Lease and keys to a house. I could not

do anything but someone was willing to help me save some of my stuff

and I am

still waiting for HUD to have it cleaned so I can get on with my life.

I will continue to address this issue until it is resolved. HUD needs

to step

up to the plate and do what is right I'm Homeless all because they

didn't want

to expose the Mold this could happen to you the people that live at the

Tennis

Club 2 701 N.W.19th St Owners! I was the only one there that had a

Voucher and

was Harrassed the hold time I lived there.Think about it you can rent

to one of

those owner!!! and they can say the Mold come from you, then what are

you going to do?

waite until this happen to you? what ever happen down here on the

ground!!!!

what goes up? or!!!!! THE LONE RANGER.

Sincerely,

Elvira
