Last month I published two posts about senior citizens being evicted due to the development of luxury homes in place of thier mobile homes. So while many of us are planning ways to protest the current regime’s visit to SLC, are holding weekly sidewalk vigils and doing outreach to expose the government’s corruption, the effects of that corruption are right at our doorstep: Corporations’ interesets over human needs.
Today’s Desert News has published a follow-up article about Cottonwood Heights officials seeking donations to help relocate those residents. Some of the residents could move their homes for anywhere between $7,000 – $12,000. But if their homes were built prior to 1976, as many of them were, they cannot be moved. Many of the residents are not only elderly, but on fixed incomes.
The Salt Lake Community Action Program is providing services for the residents. Please consider giving a donation. The SLCAP contact info is:
