HUD: evicted 101-year-old Detroit woman going home...

[Historic NY]

HUD foreclosed on the property after Warren Hollis failed to pay property taxes to maintain a reverse mortgage taken out in 2002.

HUD spokesman Brian Sullivan told The Detroit News on Wednesday that the department would pay the taxes, remove the padlocks from the doors and let Texana Hollis return to the home.

"We were absolutely thunderstruck when we understood that a 101-year-old woman was put out of her home," Sullivan told the Free Press.

Sullivan said the department has told family members that Hollis can return to the house as soon as she is released from Henry Ford Hospital, where she was taken after the eviction.

1. I hope the city's elder services has assigned an advocate to that woman.

I think her sonny boy needs to give an accounting of what he's done with Ma's money.

How nice of HUD to step up like that.

...but she sure didn't need that stress and upset at her age! What kind of slime evicts a 101-year-old person?!
