While I was selling my furniture, and other personal belongs in two yard sales I was trying to connect with social service agencies and trying to find other resources for assistance to stay in my apartment or find another solution for help to prevent becoming homeless.<BR/><BR/>All efforts failed and eventually I was evicted from my apartment of ten years after the money ran out.<BR/><BR/>"Mary" is not a criminal. She and "Joseph" did the best they could to have a roof over their heads and to keep the family unit intact.<BR/><BR/>The system not only failed them but was indifferent to this family's plight by not referring or counseling them on how to obtain Section 8 housing.<BR/><BR/>I strongly feel that withholding information, not following through, being indifferent to anyone facing a life or death situation (and I include homelessness with the obvious exposure to the elements such as weather conditions, lack of medical care and any unsafe living conditions that pose a threat) a criminal act.<BR/><BR/>How can we make city, county, state and federal agencies accountable?<BR/><BR/>As far as I am concerned they all are guilty as accessories to the crime.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Cynthia D.
