Chasity Brooks is an unemployed East Lake Courts resident with a utility bill that is higher than her rent.
“It’s the highest its been ever,” said Ms. Brooks, 20, who has lived in the housing development for the past year.
She said her January bill was $200, and the bill for February was $140. Social service agencies and family members have helped her pay, she said.
She’s one of more than 200 East Lake Courts residents who signed a petition asking for CHA officials to increase their utility allowance.
