The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has awarded a $10 million tenant organizing grant to an L.A. landlord, AIDS Healthcare. However, tenants claim that the landlord, described as a NIMBY slumlord, has been obstructing their organizing efforts. This has raised concerns among housing activists, especially given the landlord's alleged history of blocking tenant organizing, maintaining poor conditions in low-income housing properties, and releasing tenants' criminal history to smear them.
