Taking Notes

It amazes me that so many people say they do not read this blog but their reaction tells another story. All of a sudden, certain people are not speaking like they use to. They are leaving these cryptic messages on their facebook walls, and this is by people who claim they never even heard of the Lumberton Informer. I don't apologize because you were hurt by something that was said. I don't know what they're saying I've done but I know I'm not the only that have seen these things. It just make me wonder, how in the porch monkey can you see one of the skinniest dudes in the area, that is allegedly hanging out at his niece's apartment, but you can't see a whole group of people that hang out, night at day, at other units? Selective vision or is there really something to my Friends and Family theory.

People would always says, "They don't do anything but sit around all day, why won't they get a job.?"

Well, recently, I found out why they choose to sit back and hustle instead of clocking in. They do it because of the way the system works at Mississippi Regional Housing Authority 8. They discourage individuals from working so they could get more funds from HUD (Housing and Urban Development). For example, there is a family that lives at Frank Lee Homes and they were living on one income. After a long job search, another member of the household obtained a job. Since this job was secured after the signing of the lease, the rent from this family has almost tripled and now they are expected to pay $700/month. Now, there are guidelines in place that are supposed to gradually increase the rent after a person has been out of work for an extended perio
