VisitOhio Advocate Claims Landlords Evicting Locals for Haitian Immigrants at Triple the Rent
Sep 12, 2024, 03:07 PM
A homeless advocate in Springfield, Ohio, testified at a city council meeting that landlords are evicting long-term residents to make room for Haitian immigrants. The advocate claims that these actions are financially incentivized by the Biden-Harris administration, which is allegedly paying landlords triple the rent to house the immigrants. The advocate emphasized that he does not know of a single homeless Haitian in the town, attributing this to the provision of housing vouchers to the immigrants. This situation has reportedly led to an increase in homelessness among local residents, with rents reportedly being 2-3 times the normal rates.
