In March, Lawson sent a letter to Carson asking him to come
to Jacksonville and hear directly from Eureka Gardens residents about the
issues they’ve had with their units.
In February, Lawson heard from residents who told him they’ve
had issues with mold in their apartments, no air conditioning, no hot water,
and gas leaks.
“I’m so glad Secretary Carson heeded my call and came down
to Jacksonville to talk with residents at Eureka Gardens and hear first-hand
what they need from the federal government,” Lawson said. “We need to make sure
we are doing all we can to hold people accountable for improving all the units
here so that residents can have a clean, affordable and safe place to raise
their families and call home.”
