Houston mayor accuses management of 'abandoning' housing complex during power outage after storm

This neglect was prior to this storm and no one reported it. Or it was reported and nothing was done about it until the storm made it an issue that no one could hide or ignore

How Evil do you have to be to be to abandon our elders?

That apartment has been in bad condition for a long time

This goes to show what Houston really cares about time to wake up HOUSTON

Disgusting and disgraceful my heart hurts for the senior and disabled people 😞😞😞😞😞

Mayor needs to step up His trying to Find someone to Blame

It certainly sing that they abandon them they didn’t get a generator out there and run fans or nothing else for them and from the looks at the of the building they were taking that money and not fixing nothing

So what about many other apartment complexes this happened too?

They should be held accountable but we all know they will not be 😢

Whatever so what will be done. Who will be held accountable. If no one this is just click bait.

Smh

I wish these folks better days ahead and hope they make wiser preparations for future storms. Especially if mobility and power is a necessity. As one with a 95 yr old mom still without power EVERY damn time a story like this makes the news after a storm anywhere the so-called "journalists" post a very incomplete picture of what these places are. INDEPENDENT LIVING is just that. My mother-in-law was in one until she went to nursing care. It is a small apartment with some supervision and optional conveniences you have to pay extra for. It is up to the tenant (they are NOT patients) and their families to handle those things, NOT management. That said it is certainly terrible management that no one has made contact with these folks and checked on them - public assistance housing at it's worst.

nope landlord only cares about section 8 funding

Wait, the storm happened to EVERYONE. Stuff happens. If ur elderly or have a disability, u don't wait until ur cellphone battery dies to think about ways to get help. U call 911 immediately. Most people ALL across Houston and surrounding haven't gotten their power back on.
