It is very disheartening to hear of Lenise’s plight. losing your apt or home is a brutal bloat to your peace of mind. I don’t care if you live on the Gold Coast or Cabrini. I am a former of Cabrin Green and I live on the west side now and I know of what she is going through. I experienced the same thing in 2005. My building went under new management about 3 times since I lived there. They lost paper work and started coming up with figures that I had never seen before. They told me the sheriff was coming but Somehow, I moved out and made it through. If you’d like to visit I have a web site located at http://www.cabrinigreenwebs.com.

Hello, I am very sorry to hear of Lenise’s impending eviction. I was in a similiar situation myself in 2005 but not in Cabrini. Her story shook me. I know all too well about new management taking over and not accepting money and just red tape and no one can help you. this city is not kind to the poor. When poor people make a mistake they wind up in the Daley Center. There’s no compassion. I really feel that it’s not just people who live in housing projects that are going to be the ones living in neighboring suburbs like Harvey it’s going to be all poor people. I work everyday and it seems I just keep running into the police for traffic violations. I am either trying to save my car or save my apartment. But anyway, Lenise I have been where you are and it may not seem like it will get better but it will one day. One day you will have a better place to live. In closing I want to say that I am a former resident of Cabrini Green. If you’d like you can visit my site at http://www.cabrinigreenwebs.com.
