HUD SAYS IT WON'T EVICT HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR
An 84-year-old Holocaust survivor said Friday she has been assured she won't be forced from her federally subsidized apartment over monthly payments from the German government for Nazi-inflicted injuries.The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development more than doubled Fanny Schlomowitz's rent to $127 a month in June after learning of the payments.
Previously, she had paid $63 for her one-bedroom apartment at Kivel Campus of Care, a housing project for the elderly. HUD also tacked on $100 a month to pay the government back for the years she paid the reduced rent.
Schlomowitz receives $370 a month in Social Security benefits. To live in the project, she must pay 30 percent of her income in rent.
She also receives about $500 a month from the German government for injuries suffered in a wartime beating by Nazis in the Jewish ghetto at Budapest, Hungary. - Associated Press
