“Every month somebody might say, ‘you can afford this, can’t you?’ But I say ‘no’ a hundred times every month.”  Anonymous Senior

A senior citizen, who wishes to remain anonymous, grapples with living in New York on a fixed income. She talks about the discomfort of having to live with a roommate who is a quarter her age.

“He ripped the cupboard from there. He took out the sink, so we have no sink. Look how bad, look all our utensils on the floor. Our food stuff on the floor….” Anonymous Couple

On the day of their possible eviction, an elderly couple, who also fear sharing their names, describe how they are being harassed by their landlord. The landlord has torn their apartment apart piece by piece in order to drive them out and bring in a higher paying tenant.

In the full piece, both stories are included with an intro and an outro. The intro is a rythmic mix of different voices from the Housing is a Human Right Storytelling project. The outro is a description of the project with information about how to participate by Creator and Co-Producer Michael Premo.
