LOCAL SENIORS WITH LOW INCOME OUSTED FROM FOUNTAIN GLEN SEACLIFF

An agressive manager has given 90 day notices to many low income seniors at Fountain Glen Seacliff. The common thread between the low income seniors are that they have qualified through a Federal Agency to have low income, therefore they are helped in making rent. The Federal Agency sets limits to rents that they consider are reasonable to expect for people with low income, such as the City has done with 40 Apartments at Fountain Glen, Seacliff, which has been financed with a Redevelment low interest loan of $2 M. The City has set conditions on the property that 80 Apartments be kept for low income residents. Does the manager have better criteria then the City or the Federal Agency to determine low income persons?

When the founder of Fountain Glen company established the company, he did so with the policy of providing affordable living units for low income persons. He has done this in various southern California locations. However in order to manage all these locations, he has had to hire mangement companies who hire managers. Does this mean that residents at other fountain Glen locations be concerned about their managers and affordable living units?

At Fountain Glen Seacliff, it has created much stress as homeless residents look for affordable housing, which is hard to find in Orange County close to their families.
