"I just sat on the side of the bed for like an hour in shock. And I was like 'God, you got a sick sense of humor," Taylor said.
The letter from the CHA said that after 29 years, Taylor had finally made it to the top of the waiting list and could apply for a voucher for federally subsidized public housing.Back in 1993, she had three young kids and was sharing a small apartment with her mother and two siblings. Her oldest child is now 32-years-old.She said she posted it to call attention to the dire need for public housing, and question the city's priorities.
"I wanted to tell people what happened. But ultimately what I started was a national conversation about housing which we are not having. We are not talking about the people who live under the expressway in one of the richest cities in the world. Chicago is not broke. We got a priority problem and poor people are not the priority," Taylor said.
She still lives at the same address?
Chicago at it's finest!! 😡
