Sacramento Manor tries to evict 83-year-old woman
http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article4541615.htmlA Sacramento jury is expected to begin deliberations Wednesday in a landlord’s holiday season effort to evict an 83-year-old woman from her home.
Sacramento Manor, a south area senior-living apartment complex that has been in business for 50 years, is trying to evict Dorothy Morris as part of its effort to remove all of its tenants who pay their rent with federally subsidized housing vouchers.
“This particular (eviction) notice, it’s just about the fact the manor, for administrative reasons, honestly, is just not interested in participating in the Section 8 program anymore,” Allison K. Wopschall, the Walnut Creek attorney who is representing Sacramento Manor, said during a hearing Monday in front of Sacramento Superior Court Judge Christopher E. Krueger.
Wopschall told the court during a pretrial hearing that officials in the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency who administer the federal housing subsidy program “often … don’t pay on time.”
