My friend receives SSI and was receiving HUD. He got drunk one night with some friends and a woman who had been hanging around there and he ended up having sex with the woman then she said he raped her. He has been charged but not been to court. Someone notified HUD and he was cut off and then one of his neighbors called the owners. They said they were afraid of him but he has lived there 4 years and helped everyone with things in their apartments and he’s never bothered anyone. So he was evicted from his apartment.
