In the midst of a pandemic, MPHA is completing a RAD conversion which will privatize Elliot Twins, the former public housing buildings in Ward 6. As a result, developers and contractors have been doing construction in and outside of the two buildings during COVID 19. At least five seniors and people with disabilities have died of COVID 19 in the recent months at Elliot Twins. Residents are reporting that the RAD developers and contractors are not wearing masks when they are working in the buildings. When an elder asked them to wear masks because they could die from exposure to COVID19, the contractors and developers told them that they are not required to wear masks. The negligence and malice of MPHA and the City of Minneapolis have placed a RAD Conversion and the comfort of contractors above the lives, needs, and health of vulnerable, elderly, and disabled residents during the worst epidemic in recent history.
