Aimco Corporation -- the for-profit comapny that owns Rogers Park's Northpoint apartments and many other properties around the country -- wants to evict Rosetta Bledsoe's grandchildren. Aimco claims that, because Rosetta died and their new guardian, their Aunt Erica Bledsoe, wasn't previously on the lease, that the orphaned children will be evicted from their home of many years.

Action for Justice is part of the ad hoc Bledsoe support committee, helped with a rally on July and is asking people to tell HUD to step in and stop the eviction. HUD provides the funding to Aimco/Northpoint. And is supposed to help alleviate the affordable housing crisis.
Volunteers are also collecting support postcards at Triangle Park on Sept 26 and Oct 3.

Update:
Ad Hoc Bledsoe Support Committee has been formed and is online here.
