“People who we work with very closely have already gone through flight, war, disaster, devastation, have been displaced….with a lot of strength, ingenuity and resilience, made whole new lives, and they’re being expected to do it all over again!”-Julianne Donnelly Tzul, International Rescue Committee

The International Rescue Committee reports that at least 4-hundred war refugees are being evicted from the Glenbrook Apartments off Curtis Road in Boise, Idaho.

Reports say the new California based owners of the apartment complex has plans to remodel the complex and greatly increase rents, from $650 per month for a two bedroom to $1-thousand USD per month!  They’re plan to evict tenants has started with those who rent month to month.  A local TV station tried to get comment from the new apartment owner, with no luck.

It’s not just war refugees being kicked out but people on welfare and people with disabilities, a local community action church warned of legal action: “I don’t know if ownership or management fully thought through the ramifications of what it means to release those people. Whether it’s legal or not, I think the impact of their decision should be taken into consideration.”-John Thompson, Cornerstone Community Church
