[Mpls] Homeless persons: Where shall these three live?

2003-01-31 Thread Victoria Heller
Over the past two weeks, I have rejected three separate persons who applied
for one of my apartments ($410 per month.)

The first person has 2 convictions for criminal sexual conduct, one with a
13 year old minor.  He has also plead guilty for failure to notify change
of address for sex offenders.  He has also been convicted of domestic
assault.

The second person has 2 Court ordered evictions (unlawful detainers) within
the past two years, and her most recent landlord asked her to move for
dealing drugs, high traffic volume to and from her apartment, non-payment
of rent, and trashing her apartment.  She has also been convicted of
malicious punishment of a child.

The third person has 1 felony conviction, and was evicted from his previous
apartment owing $3,000 in rent.

In all three cases, the only source of income listed is SSI - which is a
form of social security for persons with disabilities - including
alcoholism and drug addiction.

SO THE QUESTION IS - Where do the citizens of Minneapolis want these people
to live?

Who paid for the application fee that is used to check rental and criminal
history?

This is what Minneapolis Public Housing or Minneapolis Taxpayer Subsidized
housing should be reserved for.
PPL, MICAH, Catholic Charities, Lutheran Social Services, MPH, Central
Community Housing Trust.  While Jim Scheibel, Alan Arthur and Cora McCorvey
are sitting on tons of taxpayer money and have vacancies.  Shame on us
fellow citizens who allow this to happen.  Where is ACORN, Up and Out of
Poverty Now, Mel Duncan, 504.  People are going homeless and freezing while
we the taxpayer have vacant apartments and houses.

MPHA and all Non-profits that have city money in their projects should have
to post their actual vacancy record with the city every month.

2003-01-31 Thread Tim Bonham
I'd suggest North Oaks.
He'd fit right in with the crooked CEO's, falsifying accountants, 
tax evaders, etc. who live in luxury in places like that.
And heck, $3,000 would make him a small-timer in that 
community.  How much of our tax money disappeared into Cedar Square 
West?  For just one example, a past City Council purchased the air rights 
above the Cedar Square West plaza for around half a million $, right?

(and former renter in Cedar Square West)

The third person has 1 felony conviction, and was evicted from his previous
apartment owing $3,000 in rent.

In all three cases, the only source of income listed is SSI - which is a

alcoholism and drug addiction.
