Spread Taura's story! Taura Brown moved into her

Spread Taura's story!

Taura Brown moved into her Tiny Home about two years ago. She had been diagnosed with advanced kidney disease, and knew she needed a safe, affordable and stable home where she could live and do what she needed to do for her health.
About a year ago, she began dialysis. She had all the equipment set up in her Tiny Home. And four times a week, at two or three hours per session, she does her dialysis in her Tiny Home. But she does not have a stable home. The landlord, the executive director of Cass Community Social Services, Rev. Faith Fowler, has been and is trying to evict Taura Brown from her home.
Fowler claims she does not need a reason to evict Taura Brown; she can just do it. Fowler doesn't like that Taura Brown speaks up for herself and her neighbors. The threat of the eviction and the stress of dealing with this eviction has caused harm to Taura Brown's health. She continues the dialysis treatments in her home, but she is stressed and has lost weight in the fight to keep her home and stop the eviction.
Faith Fowler raises funds and publicizes her Tiny Homes as safe and stable housing for people in danger of being homeless. Fowler promises that the people who live in the Tiny Homes will own the homes after seven years. But Fowler is fighting to make Taura Brown homeless, to evict Taura Brown from her Tiny Home, while Taura Brown is undergoing dialysis in that home. Fowler is determined to put Taura Brown and her dialysis equipment in the street without a home in the middle of winter during the worst pandemic in a hundred years.
Stop Faith Fowler. Stop the eviction of Taura Brown. Stop all the damn evictions.

They are in a fight and know it. It's important to continue to build support for Taura and others in the Tiny Homes and the Cass Community Social Services shelter and apartments.

Faith Fowler attacks and tries to evict Taura because Taura speaks up and speaks out about unsafe conditions in the homes and the shelter and apartments and against the authoritarian policies of Faith Fowler. This is how the non-profits operate. Stop the eviction of Taura Brown. Stop all these damn evictions. Build the fight.

Consider supporting Tamara and her kids with some

Consider supporting Tamara and her kids with some funds to her CashApp account:

Tamara S. is a renter in Harper Woods and a mom to 2 kids – ages 13 and 9. Tamara receives a Section 8 voucher.

After falling behind on rent, Tamara applied for the COVID Emergency Rental Assistance (CERA) program. Her landlord, European Club, LLC, accepted $1,180 in CERA funds in October 2021.

One month later in November, Tamara’s landlord filed an eviction case against her in court – this time for repossession of the property.

As is typical in eviction cases, Tamara’s landlord had an attorney but she couldn’t afford one. Tamara ended up signing a consent judgment saying she would be out of the property by January.

Her landlord continued to receive payments from Section 8 during the months after they filed for eviction.

Tamara and her kids have a property lined up to live in, but need help ($1200) for the security deposit. She has applied for help from State Emergency Relief and CERA to no avail.

Ms. Brenda Sheard is a 72 year old tenant living with a disability on Detroit’s west side. Two days before Christmas, Judge McClinton of the 36th District Court signed an order of eviction against her. Ms. Sheard never got the chance to go to court because her landlord, Yolanda Lockhart, tore down her mailbox and never served HER the required legal notice of her eviction or a summons to court.
Ms. Sheard lives with several major health and safety issues — including a basement that leaks sewage, holes in the roof, a dangerous porch, and several broken windows. Ms. Sheard’s home badly flooded after the summer storms, destroying many of her belongings — Lockhart never came to clean the property.
Lockhart never registered the property Ms. Sheard occupies as a rental unit with the City of Detroit, nor has she obtained a valid Certificate of Compliance.

Lockhart’s abuse started within a month of Ms. Sheard moving in in November 2020, Leadeing Ms. Sheard to file two police reports against her.

DED stood with Ms. Sheard on the day of her eviction and is working to hold those responsible to account. Since Ms. Sheard called DED (313-530-0216) in December, we have filed a complaint with BSEED (313-224-2733) over the property’s condition, filed a motion to stay her eviction and hold lockhart in contempt of the court, are working to file a complaint with the state against Lockhart for elder abuse, and connected Ms. Sheard with the United Community Housing Coalition (UCHC) – which is able to use COVID relief funds (CERA) to relocate Ms. Sheard to a motel until they can find her senior housing – helping to protect her from the final, and most violent, stage of the eviction process.

Ms. Sheard’s traumatic situation is the outcome of a political and economic system built to promote the profits of landlords over the lives of poor and Black tenants — a system where the court provides a fast track for dispossession, the city refuses to enforce its own laws, and speculators buy up properties for cheap and milk them dry. You can support Ms. Sheard and those like her by following our social media accounts and attending our meetings and actions. When we fight together we can win.
