A former Chattanooga public housing leader and resident representative to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will know within 10 days if she will be evicted.

Roxann Larson, former president of the Dogwood Manor resident association and a former vice president of the National Alliance of HUD Tenants, faces eviction after more than a dozen residents accused her of bullying and harassment.

Larson said on Facebook Friday that she hopes “to see the eviction gone and all of the complaints expunged from my record because they were just lies.”

A complaint against her signed by 19 residents and submitted to the Chattanooga Housing Authority states, “She is a bully and the tenants are tired of it. Something has to be done before someone gets hurt. She is stressing everybody out in the building.”

Some of the same complainants also filed individual reports against her.
