KANDIDA

Aissatou Fall

Antanke lokatè, mwen te temwen dirèkteman laperèz kèk moun santi lè y ap eksprime enkyetid yo. Mwen pasyone pou m sèvi nan konsèy lokatè a pou m bay kominote nou an pouvwa lè m asire tout moun okouran de dwa fondamantal yo pou yon espas k ap viv ki an sekirite, abòdab, pwòp, epi ki fonksyone byen. Mwen angaje tou pou m ankouraje pi bon kominikasyon ak jesyon an. Mwen te fè eksperyans fristrasyon lè biwo ki pa konsistan, apèl ki pa jwenn repons, ak nesesite pou m pran tan nan jounen m pou pwoblèm ki ta ka rezoud adistans. Anplis de sa, mank responsablite pou lòd travay ki pa adrese yo se yon bagay ki pa akseptab. Antanke yon lokatè responsab ki peye lwaye alè, mwen kwè li enpòtan pou gen yon manm konsèy ki dedye a asire jesyon an respekte responsablite li tou. Chak lokatè merite pou yo trete l avèk diyite ak respè, epi mwen detèmine pou m defann sa.

Darlene Maxwell

Mwen renmen travay avèk MCHTO Development kòm volontè, mwen se yon moun ki gen anpil sousi pou lòt moun, epi mwen renmen travay avèk moun an jeneral ki toujou ap ede. Mwen vrèman renmen travay avèk Konsèy Administrasyon an avèk moun pozitif.

Lefèt ke mwen te viv nan Mildred Hailey pandan ventan ki sot pase yo ban mwen yon konpreyansyon pwofon sou kominote nou an. M ap kandida pou komite lokatè a paske mwen anvizaje yon avni ki pi briyan pou nou tout. Mwen angaje m pou m defann amelyorasyon, tankou asire koulwa nou yo toujou pwòp epi ede kominote a gen yon pi gwo sans sekirite pou tout moun santi yo alèz kite pitit yo jwe deyò. Mwen anvi defann chanjman ki gen enpak dirèk sou kalite lavi nou, soti nan adrese bri lannwit ki deranje moun ak moun k ap antre san otorizasyon rive nan reparasyon pòt kase. Objektif mwen se gen yon kominote kote timoun nou yo ka jwi lè ete a san okenn enkyetid.

Ismael Padilla

Non mwen se Ismael Padilla, mwen ap viv nan Mildred C Hailey Development depi 1974. Mwen te vizite epi mwen te wè tout bèl travay Task Force la ap fè nan kominote a. Se poutèt sa mwen vle vin yon manm nan Òganizasyon Lokatè Mildred C Hailey la.

Luis Matos

Mwen pran desizyon pou m patisipe nan Pwosesis Elektoral MCHTO a pou kontinye ranfòse relasyon rezidan BHA yo ak administrasyon an. Anplis amelyore kalite lavi ak satisfaksyon, bati yon anviwònman pozitif pou fanmi yo, san arasman ak diskriminasyon kèlkeswa ras, koulè, relijyon, sèks, oryantasyon seksyèl, batay pou ekite; sekirite, pwòpte, ak antretyen se poto fondamantal pou yon lavi miyò… kidonk mwen bezwen sipò ou.

Mary Miller Martin

Bonjou, mwen rele Mary Martin. Mwen se yon rezidan depi 40 an. Mwen renmen kominote mwen an. Mwen se yon moun ki renmen moun epi mwen gen yon nanm ki gen bon kè. Mwen renmen ede moun epi fè yo souri.

Santa Tejada

Non mwen se Santa, mwen te mande kisa Gwoup Travay la ye, epi lè mwen fin tande sa l ye, mwen ta renmen fè pati konsèy administrasyon an pou m ka aprann plis bagay sou sa k ap pase nan kominote a.

Thomas Lugo

Non mwen se Thomas Lugo, mwen wè sa Gwoup Travay la ap fè nan kominote a epi mwen renmen ede otan m kapab. Se poutèt sa mwen vle vin yon manm konsèy administrasyon an.

CANDIDATOS

Aissatou Fall

Como inquilino, he presenciado de primera mano el miedo que algunos sienten al expresar sus preocupaciones. Me apasiona formar parte de la junta de inquilinos para empoderar a nuestra comunidad, garantizando que todos conozcan sus derechos fundamentales a un espacio vital seguro, asequible, limpio y funcional. También me comprometo a fomentar una mejor comunicación con la administración. He experimentado la frustración de los horarios de oficina inconsistentes, las llamadas sin respuesta y la necesidad de dedicar tiempo a asuntos que podrían resolverse a distancia. Además, la falta de responsabilidad por las órdenes de trabajo sin atender es inaceptable. Como inquilino responsable que paga el alquiler a tiempo, creo que es crucial contar con un miembro de la junta dedicado a garantizar que la administración también cumpla con sus responsabilidades. Todo inquilino merece ser tratado con dignidad y respeto, y estoy decidido a defenderlo.

Mi objetivo es tener una comunidad donde nuestros hijos puedan disfrutar del aire del verano sin preocupaciones.

NOMINEES

Aissatou Fall

As a tenant, I’ve witnessed firsthand the fear some feel in voicing their concerns. I am passionate about serving on the tenant board to empower our community by ensuring everyone is aware of their fundamental rights to a safe, affordable, clean, and operational living space. I am also committed to fostering better communication with management. I’ve experienced the frustration of inconsistent office hours, unanswered calls, and the need to take time out of my day for issues that could be resolved remotely. Furthermore, the lack of accountability for unaddressed work orders is unacceptable. As a responsible tenant who pays rent on time, I believe it’s crucial to have a board member dedicated to ensuring management upholds their responsibilities as well. Every tenant deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, and I am determined to advocate for that.

My goal is to have a community where our kids can enjoy the summer air without any worries.

In addition to improving quality of life and satisfaction, building a positive environment for families, free of harassment and discrimination regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, fighting for equity; safety, cleanliness, and maintenance are fundamental pillars for a better life… therefore I need your support.
