. . . While big corporate landlords, like Boston Capital, etc., collect tax dollars, they're not always forced to comply with laws.

The subsidized apartment complex mentioned in the previous news story isn't the only 'affordable housing' complex that violates tenant rights. Spring Gate Apartments in Rockland, MA hasn't complied with laws or tenant rights during renovations which involved constant hammering next to bedrooms before 8:00 a.m. Noise ordinances, fair housing laws, and other laws are NOT enforced for vulnerable tenants in such housing complexes. Sometimes decent tenants are deliberately harassed and annoyed by corporate landlords and management. The goal is to coerce certain tenants to move out of the nuisance housing complex. Yes, it's illegal, but they get away with doing that too.

Sharing the Joy from Spring Gate Apts.
. . . Still waiting for Mr. Wm. M. Connolly to turn Rockland Place Apts. dba Spring Gate Apartments into an ASSET for the Town of Rockland as he promised he would do. Just last month 2 different banks were robbed within 2-weeks by one of the residents he rents a subsidized apartment to. From perverts to drug dealers, it's definitely not the first time trouble has spread to the outer community from inside this subsidized housing complex.*** http://www.enterprisenews.com/news/20180424/police-say-woman-out-on-bail-tried-to-rob-abington-bank-with-grocery-bag-over-her-head

Criminal Background Checks . . . The news stories above are just tidbits of what goes on in, and from, subsidized housing. Seems there ought to be better housing opportunities available for innocent people with little income, especially while large corporations enrich themselves with government tax credits and government money from subsidized rents. Spring Gate reminds some people of a prison facility. It doesn't provide opportunity for low-income, law-abiding, rent payers to grow and advance their lives. In fact, this type of subsidized housing can be detrimental and destructive to those who speak the truth.
