This just in. According to a story on WKTV Millenium is looking to sell all it's apartment buildings in this area & Liberty may be a possible buyer. Also mentioned in the story is Millenium owes several local contractors payment for services rendered with one contractor owed close to $60,000. Millenium has been paid millions of dollars by HUD to manage these buildings. It's the same old Corporate America story. Milk the taxpayer's, screw over anyone they can, then take the money & run. But who's surprised?

Artysone, the frustration dealing with government speak and multiple layers or bureaucracy must be frustrating. I can't even imagine the problems of someone with limited English literacy trying to navigate it. Yes, it's terrible and I can barely navigate the ocean of disinformation, misinformation, outright lies, rumors and other scuttlebutt. I, like you, can not even imagine a compromised person dealing with it. What really irritates me is when I have the correct information and someone just ignores me in favor of there own opinion. That sends me up a wall.  |

I am now entering into the Olbiston Zone, which is turning out to be quite the ordeal. No more just strolling into the office and putting your $$$ down and bingo you've got an apt. No questions asked. Move right in. This HUD stuff is a whole different ballgame, with certain explicit designated steps or " means tests" that you must pass to approach the next level. And believe me, they want to see everything financial you have including if you have a dollar bill hidden in your armpit. I have already filled out the application, which was like a Dostyesky novel, had that approved, had 2 phone interviews, now I am to another interview with the "director of compliance" in April. Then after my financials are approved I can move into the "lottery zone." All the tenants are to be picked by housing lottery on May 18th. If your name is chosen then I assume one has a tour and a meeting with the building staff where one chooses an apt. Then move in day, July 1st. They plan to draw 153 names at once. I have no idea in hell how they will move 153 or more people into the building on July 1st. The rental rep I spoke to says she doesn't know either.

Do they think you want to buy the whole damn building? Try not to let on that you know the score. That way, when the owners let the place go into the terlet, they'll think you won't know any better & rent to you right off the bat. |

LOL I am so used to the HUD rental application and thr recertification application that you will fill out along with necessary financial, family, personnel information that you MUST give them for recertification to be allowed. And yes like one executive director of MHA said if you have extra change in your pocket we want it. Only fair though. I began my recert in March. My year is March to March even though I moved in in July. Reason they need 180 days to gather all information on you from all sources. There was a guy here who wanted to rent here and decided he would not put down that he worked part time at Pizza Boys. His rent was to go from $300 to $680. He decided not to take the apartment. LOL

I walked in there in 1982, told them I wanted an apt, they showed me one, i rented it, no questions asked: $60.00 per month. |

LOL Hey, if you're financially strapped & can't afford a fortune for rent & need some assistance from an outfit like HUD, they run you thru the mill. But if you're a millionaire owning & renting apartments to the above you can get away with letting your buildings rot from the top down & get away with it. Or if you're a fraud, a con artist & self proclaimed billionaire like Trump you can get away with it for decades & the court sydrem will give you every break in the book like he's getting now. Welcome to the good old U.S.A., bought & paid for by Aristocrats who can buy there way out of just about anything, like the Bible peddler. |

"The Bible Peddler" sounds like a great title for a Southern Gothic type of short, short story. Too bad Dave's not here to write it. I am sure he would jump at the chance and have a field day with it. Mabye he'll bleed through into my reality and give me some ideas. I can hear him laughing right now. He's rubbing his hands together ...oh boy...

I saw the floor plans for some apartments and they are very attractive. They are in the management company that foresees this new apartment complex. It mentions that people who want to rent must have income equal to 80% of the area's income. I wonder how much that is crmrentalmgmt.com/ |
