The landlord had told them he wanted to raise the rent to $3,500 and when they complained he decided to raise it to $9,500.

โ€œWe know that our building is not rent controlled and this was something we were always worried about happening and there is no way we can afford $9,500 per month," Yumna Farooq said.

public housing doesn't require tax money. It is often facilitated by it, yes, but don't act as if the rent is necessarily sponsored by the government just because public housing isn't designed to extract the maximum amount of money from the renters. There's plenty to criticize about public housing without resorting to falsehoods
