Sheila Crowley People Quotations

People wait years for housing assistance. They should not be delayed because somebody else is getting their money.

This nightmare has gone on long enough. We once again call upon President Bush to make good on his promises to the people of the Gulf. This is a national crisis and requires strong national leadership to assure that all displaced people are safely re-housed as soon as possible. They should not have to endure more trauma - most especially at the hands of their federal government.

Unless they have some serious plan for helping move people from hotels into apartments, other than putting up fliers . . . as of December 1, there's going to be a lot of homeless people.

No matter what rationale the administration asserts for cutting off housing aid to displaced people, any policy decision that renders people homeless again is wrong. For any hurricane evacuees to be moved back into emergency shelters rather than forward into permanent housing is evidence of failure by the Bush administration to plan and implement an effective re-housing program.

The disparity between what people earn and what even modest rental housing costs grows larger each year. This is the housing market in which millions of low-wage workers and elderly or disabled people must try to find safe and decent homes.
