Finally.
Tampa Housing Authority Commissioner Karen Peoples has been evicted. She’s been in violation of federal housing guidelines for nearly a year because she lives alone in a four-bedroom, C. Blythe Andrews apartment. An apartment that sets her back all of $26 a month.
But that’s just for openers. Peoples has been at Andrews since 1984.
The federal Department of Housing and Urban Development subsidizes housing for those in need – to help them through life’s financially trying transitions. But Peoples is the Poster Tenant for everything that’s wrong with public housing: subsidizing lives and lifestyles – not temporarily tough times.
