Winona Housing & Redev Auth

"Name was removed from wait-list for failure to respond to letter. I did respond. It was this hra that never got back to me. I left voicemails and emails."

"GED classes are held here."

"There have been many instances so far this winter involving people trespassing on the property. People are hiding in the stairwells some in plain sight. Many act suspicious and appear to be under the influence of something. When asked if they live here, they do not. Some do not know anyone that does. Many claim to be trying to reach a tenant on their phone but, are never near anyone that does live here. Some leave when asked by residents and staff ,but return often. I've witnessed these people get verbally aggressive when confronted. The police have been called on several times that I know of. Suggestions have been made to lock the doors 24/7 instead of the only 12 hours. Suggestions have also been made to post signs indicating that this is private property ,or that there are numerous security cameras in and around the building. The tenants are supposed to be responsible for their visitors. This is not happening. Mostly elderly and disabled people live in this building. I am afraid that someone is going to get hurt by these people. The staff is nice when confronted about this situation. However, nothing is being done. This is not always a safe environment. I can't imagine that anyone else in Winona would be comfortable with these people anywhere near their property."
