| Merle Adler and Members of SAFE Seattle Debrief after deliver of Demand Letter
30 people, including many members of Standing Against Foreclosures and Evictions (SAFE), let the City Council and Mayor know that it is the City's job to maintain ancient sewer pipes so that individual homeowners do not get stuck with bills in the thousands to fix sewer pipes that flood their homes. This is what happened to Ivy. As a home health aid, Ivy's income does not accommodate this kind of catastrophe, especially when sewers are the City's responsibility. One of council member Sawant's aides accompanied the group to the Mayor's office.
The City is now on probation until February 15th, when they will be expected to present a plan to reimburse Ivy for her immediate problems and a long-term answer for the rotting sewer infrastructure around the city. We know of people who have lost homes due to these same circumstances. We need and want housing justice for Ivy, for the homeless and for all!
