Down with Boley Centers
Boley Centers, Inc. is funded partially by the City of St. Petersburg and receives federal Housing and Urban Development money to run its operations. It is an organization that is supposed to provide housing and other services to people who are disabled, homeless or have low income. It is, however, involved in the City's land grab operations happening in St. Petersburg that are displacing African communities to create economic development for white people.
Boley issued notices on Saturday, December 1 to four African families informing them it would make them homeless effective on New Year's Eve. In the notices it stated that their housing vouchers were being revoked and that the reason was because "they did not comply with the City of St. Petersburg housing criteria."
Of course, the letters did not state what the issues of non-compliance were, nor did Boley give these African families the legally required chance to comply or appeal the decision.
It was clear however that these were not compliance issues. It was clear that, from the firings to the evictions, this was a general attack on the Uhuru Movement with whom all of these forces were associated.
