NYC Section 8 Residents Talk About the Horrors of Affordable Housing, Fears of Being Forced Out by Money-Hungry Landlords

Facing pressure to move by money-hungry landlords, Gloria Nieves and her neighbors resemble extras in a horror film as they shuffle through their Queens apartment building.

“I see all the people — walking zombies,” said Nieves, 57, who has lived in her pre-war Ridgewood home for 16 years.

Last year, her building was sold and longtime residents fear they will be forced to find new homes.
