LMHA Relocating Tenants

[Clay Smith]

LMHA is relocating residents from Dosker Manor due to mold, rodents, and crime.

Dosker Manor will be torn down, and residents will be moved to other accommodations.

LMHA surveyed residents; they need help with medical care, groceries, and financial management.

Relocations will start in August, with around 600 residents moving over 18 months.

The first 100 residents will move to LMHA-owned properties; the rest will go to low-income housing.

LMHA is covering moving costs and offering reimbursements up to $1,300 for self-movers. Residents must settle overdue rent before moving.

The Section 8 housing voucher waiting list is closed, with a wait time of three to five years, but Dosker Manor residents are being moved to the top of the list.

LMHA has 2,800 apartments citywide, with 1,500 past due on rent, but no evictions for non-payment in four years.
