To the Chicago Housing Authority:

in #cha5 years ago

To whom it may concern:

I am writing this letter in order to express my unhappiness in the manner of your correspondence in concert with the landlord/ property owner that has illegally captured my estate as it relates to my housing stability. Here is my concern: your correspondence along with the correspondence along with that of Axonas Realty has degraded my self-esteem. Not one single concern of mine as it relates to my participation in this program has been addressed by your organization. The only correspondence I seem to get from the CHA or Axonas Management are letters that warn me of the punishment I am to receive when I get caught selling drugs.

The most recent letter from CHA was with regards to the new marijuana law that makes it legal in the State of Illinois and City of Chicago. I will refrain from expressing my opinion about the new law except to say that it illustrates the hypocrisy of Amerikkka. Why is it OKAY for the municipal and state governments to oppose the federal government while, on the other hand, continuously admonishing me about the repercussions that will occur if I break that law. Why is it that I get no response or advice on my current situation as a captured poor Black man existing in a hostile environment but instead, threats of eviction if I break a new and ambiguous law.

I will put it like this. I have been at war with my landlord, Axonis LLC ever since I commenced habitating CHA properties. The war is necessary due to the fact of distressing neglect of issues that create an environment of uninhabitability. Because of this neglect, I have contracted the mental illness characterized as "learned helplessness". As a result of this handicap, I seem to have entered a downward spiral of self-destruction with no hope of alleviation. The letters sent by you, the CHA, and my landlord Maryland LLC have exacerbated my sickness. I demand that you and your agent Axonis Realty/Axonas Management/Axones LLCMaryland LLC(whatever name they have told you) to cease the delivery of deragatory correspondence. I demand assistance to free myself from that immoral landlord and its many names. I demand a decent place to live that has no association with the fraudulent apartment lessor. I demand job training, educational assistance and financial assistance due to the lack of action of this CHA and negligence of Axonis/Maryland LLC. These demands, if met, will be sufficient for me to move on with my life. If I am only sent threatening letters accusing me of criminal activity while, at the same time, not addressing my grievances then I will be obliged to address my concerns with a higher power.

This letter possesses an adversarial tone because I am prepared and willing to make my case in a court of law. I have every piece of correspondence sent by this CHA and its agent of many names who is also my landlord. They together will verify the dishonorable treatment that has been endured by this CHA/HCV participant. I have defended myself from eviction proceedings brought against me by the fraudulent landlord three successive times. I have given the CHA copies of my court papers after my second victory against them. I have told CHA employees of the whole drama on more than one occasion after being summoned with threats of expulsion from the program.

Living in the CHA has been a nightmare for over three years with the same landlord holding me hostage using some type of high tech surveillance which I have yet to uncover. The pain and suffering and loss of self esteem and dignity heaped upon my person and soul cannot be quantified. Your most recent letter regarding the new marijuana laws along with the 2nd letter from Maryland LLC has further increased the burden of pain and suffering that I am forced to bear. I believe I have been very specific in addressing these most recent insults accusing me of criminal activity. I will remain vague as to the resolution of these problems. Please be advised: although I have been diagnosed with learned helplessness, it only relates to my dealings with the government and its agents. It has not diminished my self determination or my resiliency. I can count on my hands ten organizations that have neglected my concerns. I can count ten more on my toes. Each of these organizations will be held accountable by this person (me). As a citizen in parte with knowledge of the facts, I pray that you (CHA) will hear this communication and not neglect your duties to my estate. Through determination and faith in the Highest Power, I shall overcome my learned helplessness along with the belligerent attitude that accompanies it. It is my complete hope that Justice will be the product of this letter to this CHA. In the words of my great spiritual mentor, the honorable Dr. Martin Luther King:"Injustice Anywhere is a Threat to Justice Everywhere".

Sincerely and yours truly,

Abdul Haleem of the Muhammad clan
