Investigative Reporter at News 5 Cleveland
CLEVELAND — Housing vouchers are supposed to help people in need, but News 5 Investigators took an in-depth look at how your tax dollars are sometimes paying for poor living conditions and the frustrations of finding a home.
“I don’t understand how you can have tenants living in your home without water and you know they have children,” said Williams.Meanwhile in Parma, Elizabeth Perisutti reached out to us about problems with her duplex. She said her utility bills have risen dramatically. “It’s something constant and because I can’t pay these high bills, it’s like I got to move,” said Perisutti.
Moments later, the landlord said he wanted to work something out. “If you want to stay by , I fix the house,” said the landlord.FAILED INSPECTIONS BUT ALLOWED BACK INTO PROGRAM Back on the East Side, Marks said it took more than a month to finally fix the heat and hot water. CMHA said the property failed three inspections, and the contract with the landlord was canceled.However, as soon as repairs happened, the landlord was allowed to receive vouchers again. But, as we found out a week later, another big problem popped up.
