Support a Senior's Move to a Safe Environment

It is difficult to describe how it feels to be housing insecure especially as a senior citizen. It is even more difficult to ask for assistance but pride goeth before a fall! I have lived in my current residence for over 15 years and until about 5 or so years ago things were fine. Unfortunately the Manager I was dealing with is gone and someone else took over. This person has no knowledge of landlord tenant laws and has run scams on me several times. I have reached out to attorneys to sue for discrimination because of my age disability and race with no luck. There are some non profits who have assisted with advice but no real action. It was worse during covid when there was a rainstorm and the ceiling in front of my unit started pouring water down and there were also electrical cords hanging down. I made a complaint and they were forced to fix it and it has been down hill ever since. I have taken pictures of the neglected repairs to prove that there is negligence. I have had no peace from them sending letters about noise and blaming me and my grandson for the actions of other neighbors. Then there were complaints about marijuana smoke and dogs. Every unit on this floor has at least one dog. The entire hallway smells like marijuana yet they said it was me. Then someone went in my mail box and stole my grandsons check and they were stealing his packages. No one cashed the check they just took it to inconvenience him. He has unofficially moved because of the hostility we face here.

We found a nice place and need to pay a deposit and move but are in need of assistance with the deposit and moving expense. We still have to fight the present landlord who has sent a 30 day notice to pay rent or quit even though I do not owe her any rent. In 2022 they went into my account and took unauthorized money out. They have done no repairs in my unit for over a year. We are constructively evicted by this landlord. She is discriminating against me because of my race age and disability. I do not feel comfortable leaving my apartment because I have seen Maintenance entering units when Tenants are not home. I told my neighbor what I saw and she said she did not give them permission for them to enter her apartment.

The Landlord called ICE on my neighbors husband who is Native American and they were banging on their door in the middle of the afternoon. He came out and told them I am Native American and told them the name of his tribe. That was humiliating for him and his wife to have these people (who are Asian), calling immigration on a Native American.

This is why I am asking for donations to pay the deposit on our new place and for moving and moving in costs. I am looking forward to a peaceful night in a conflict free zone.
