How the new policy (ACOP) effects
Leases- new leases, new rules
Late fees- increased to $15
Rent Collection- late fees charged on 6th of month instead of the 10th
Automatic Eviction- for 4 times paying late rent
Minimum rent- increased to $50
Pet policies- $200 deposit PLUS $10/month
Rent calculation- stricter enforcement, no provision for frequent changes in income
None of these changes are required by HUD!
Ask commissioners:
– why are the increases necessary?
– how did you determine the $ amounts for increases?
– Are you trying to evict residents and increase homelessness?
– are you serving the interests of residents and low income people?
Let them know:
– you are opposed to the changes
– how this affects your life as a resident of public housing
– how this will affect your neighbors
This policy will have more people owing more money, more often, going to court more often and being evicted more often.
WE can stop this TOGETHER if we
SHOW UP, SPEAK UP and
show UNITY in PUBLIC HOUSING for JUSTICE !!!
