== FAIR HOUSING ACT == In Amarillo,Texas There Has Been An Increase of Homeless Families. I've Heard Many Stories, Such as Mine. I am Fifty Years Old And I am single Parent,Grandmother and proud Great-grandmother .I recently had a annual review at my apartment and had some issues with the neighbors. And the manager. YES, I made several reports and the outcome was a eviction letter for myself. The manager did not want to renew my lease so i then went to look for another home. I found a 3 bedroom and my voucher was for a one bedroom and was allowed to move in.The landlord propositioned me. i was not working and I REPORTED Him to my caseworker. I called my caseworker and found out that she was not employed at Panhandle Community Services anymore. This was a shock to me because she was a mentor for me and guided me through a very rough time in my life. I NEVER heard from her since. nor About the REPORT on my landlord. IN July of 2021 I REPORTED a gas leak and infestation of ants. The landlord would not fix it and housing stopped paying rent due to non compliance of housing inspection. My water got disconnected and received a letter from the constable for an eviction and court. I NEVER knew that court was done on ZOOM TV AND allowed in these type of situation. BEING that I'm not computer savey I DID NOT SEE THE JUDGE ON THE SCREEN. I SPOKE TO HIM ON A TELEPHONE. I DID MY RESEARCH at the library and THE FAIR-HOUSING ACT CLEARLY STATES that it is against the law to evict a tenant when there is a gas leak. My timing on my voucher somewhere along the time line said my voucher had expired. sigh... I Appealed the decision and had ten days to do so. I RETURNED ON THE TENTH DAY and received my voucher back which my expiration date should have started new .A week later when i turned in my paper work, my caseworker said my voucher expired. I lost everything. You never know how one feels until you have been in that situation. I have tried to give what i can when i see someone standing at the corner or at a convenient store. The looks that i had got standing outside counting change wanting to cry and asking ,GOD,"WHY ME?" Well crying does not help and backsliding crept in. I FIGHT every day to keep my composure and remember the words of an old wise man. JUST because you are poor, does not mean you have to look like it .Its very hard to get a job if you have your drivers license stolen and social security. So. How do i manage my life ? PRAY. And get up early so i can make it in time to the TYLER resource Center and shower and check my mail and eat lunch with a group of new friends and family. PEOPLE judge by the outer looks of a person and that is what i was taught not very Christian like. Either you are labeled as a prostitute or drug addict. Everyone has a story to be told but this one is about the law. THE LAW OF THE LAND. When is there a line of our superiors that start breaking the law. I ask my self this every day.
