My first apartment was in Whitney Young Manor, and I was proud at first that I as a disabled person finally was living independently. Yet as the years wore on, I think I would have preferred the relative freedom of a nursing home...





I should mention at this point that I am a transsexual, and transitioned from male to female while living there--and they clearly had a problem with it. I cannot prove it for certain, but it can?t be a coincidence my problems with Whitney Young seemed to begin about this time, after getting along well with management for years.They began looking for the slightest excuse to throw me out--the issue they chose was cleanliness. During inspections (which were frequent) they expected me to maintain a level of cleanliness around my apartment that would be difficult for an able-bodied person to maintain (indeed, I lost an aide who happened to live in the building because management said HER apartment was too dirty!)I finally moved out of state rather than suffer the indignity of being evicted. In the meantime, an alcoholic woman who lived above me was able to continue occupying her apartment without complaint from management, despite the fact she frequently violated her lease, and at one point flooded her apartment while in a drunken stupor (the water went down two floors into my kitchen). These people they consider model tenants, but they forced me out. Go figure.
