Boley is a private company that gets government funding to provide housing assistance based on poverty statistics of the black community in several Florida counties. They recently notified four members of the Uhuru Movement in St. Petersburg, Florida, that their housing assistance has been terminated.
Urgent Call In - Tell Boley/St. Pete to Stop Attack on Uhuru Movement
Boley Centers, Inc. is a non-profit multi-million dollar company that is supposed to be providing assistance to people in need. They operate in Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee and Sarasota Counties in Florida with programs around housing, disabilities, and mental illness. Boley receives the majority of their funding from the City of St. Petersburg and are currently cooperating with the city to unleash a vicious attack on the Uhuru Movement.
On Saturday, December 1st, four Uhuru Movement members received a letter from Boley Centers, Inc. saying that they “did not comply with the City of St. Petersburg housing criteria” and their housing voucher will be terminated effectively Dec 31 (new year’s eve). There was no mention of what they did not comply with, what could be done to comply, or how to appeal this termination. This means that people who need housing assistance will now be forced out of their homes on the holidays because they are members of the Uhuru Movement.
The Uhuru Movement is urging people to call-in!
