Apartments owned by Warnock's church evict 'homeless' tenants while senator receives hefty housing stipend
An apartment complex in Atlanta largely owned by Sen. Raphael Warnock's Ebenezer Baptist Church has been evicting tenants while the church pays him a large housing stipend.
Here is what Warnock says:
Warnock was outspoken during his campaign about evicting people who are struggling.
"Unemployment benefits have expired, rent is due today, and many Georgia families are at risk of eviction in the middle of a pandemic," Warnock wrote in an August 2020 tweet. "My opponents are supposed to be serving the people in Washington, but they're clearly only concerned with serving their own interests."
Here is what he does:
"They treat me like a piece of s---. They're not compassionate at all," one 69-year-old Black resident who is a Vietnam veteran told the Free Beacon. He explained how he was issued an eviction notice last month for $192 in past-due rent. He told the outlet he was almost evicted last year over $179, but he was allowed to stay after he paid an additional $325 in fees.
