60 people will now become homeless due to a slumlord's mismanagement of an apartment complex. The family, who owns multiple complex in Oregon, failed to make repairs that were demanded by the city due to being uninhabitable, so now 60 people will become homeless due to their inaction. The 60 residents were given baskets with shampoo, a pamphlet of their rights, and blankets for the city, but were not provided any place where they could take shelter.
This slumlord and their family have a history of actions like this, which is explained in the article, and it demonstrates how our society treats poor people. Salem is in a bad housing crisis right now as many people are being evicted and new homeless camps are being constructed daily, but the city has done little to help solve the problem.
I also want to include that the city contacted non-profits who help the homeless in Salem, OR, but all they provided were pamphlets, shampoo, and a blanket for those who are getting evicted.
