Activists ready to defend Detroit woman facing eviction from tiny home
‘I’m going to fight this because this is bullshit,’ Taura Brown says
Taura Brown, 44, is being kicked out of her 317-square-foot home that is part of a community of unique tiny houses in the Dexter-Linwood neighborhoods.
Cass Community Social Services (CCSS), a nonprofit that designed the homes for lower-income Detroiters, has received a court order to evict Brown after a two-year legal battle, even though she has paid her rent on time.
Brown, who has stage-five kidney disease, alleges she was evicted in retaliation for blowing the whistle on problems at CCSS. She accused the nonprofit and its director, Rev. Faith Fowler, of fraud and micromanaging residents. She also alleged CCSS never intended to provide permanent homes for tenants.
