Workshop held in Lexington on affordable housing, tenants’ rights
“For more than four months, Gatewood has been looking for affordable housing, but hasn’t had any luck. Help from the Lexington Tenant Union has helped her delay the eviction, but now she’s out of time.
‘It’s not for us not looking, we’ve diligently been looking. We’ve been working with other organizations. The housing is not out there. It’s not affordable,’ Gatewood said.
On Monday, Gatewood was part of a rally standing against evictions and pushing more affordable housing. Just two days later she was at this workshop for tenants to learn their rights and options, hoping to connect with someone who can help her family.”
