SLUM LORD DECLARES WAR ON HUD HOUSING RESIDENTS
Stealing fed money
Mission Statement We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all residents of Central Park Tower, 1511 Farnam Street, Omaha, Nebraska, are created equal, and that they are endowed with the same rights to safety, sanitation, dignity, and security of tenure. When those who control this HUD-assisted building refuse dialogue and issue unilateral dictates upon the elderly, the disabled, and the vulnerable—many of whom cannot read the notices against them or defend their own interests—they violate both the fundamental contract that authority must serve the people who live under it and the protections guaranteed under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1439 and 24 CFR Part 245.
