me just, ask you a question.

0:14:14

This is a Rad Pack, development.

0:14:17

Right?

0:14:18

Penwortman Houses.

0:14:21

Where has NYCHA been in this whole conversation you've been having with management over these particular controversies?

Miss Walden

0:14:19

Penwortman.

0:14:29

Well, they took my voucher away and I did not know it in February, but they would take my rent.

0:14:35

And at one point, when I found out in April, they want to give me my my, money order receipts back, but I told them, no.

0:14:43

I already paid my rent, but I didn't even know they were holding it.

0:14:47

Management cut off my ticket order at one time, and it's nothing it's just a nightmare.

0:14:54

I went down to NYCHA, and they say they're still waiting for management because they can't do anything until management approve with the voucher.

0:15:03

So just because of this court order, I should be getting my voucher back.
