Most are being <strong>discarded<\/strong> simply because the <strong>cost for &#8220;SIMPLE&#8221; living is out of control<\/strong>. Especially for <strong>those low-income families.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most places you contact in <strong>Branson have what they call &#8221; A Waiting List.&#8221;<\/strong> Some of these lists are <strong>one year out, and even further.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make matters worse, <strong>the &#8220;LOW-INCOME&#8221; agencies<\/strong> that are in place to help <strong>assist low-income families, always communicate to these families that funding is on the way.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, when people say, <strong>&#8220;help and funding is on the way,&#8221; what does that mean in Branson? <\/strong>Because <strong>in the meantime, families in Branso<\/strong>n are forced to<strong> live in &#8220;storage units&#8221; or in the woods after being evicted<\/strong>. I know this to be a fact because <strong>I&#8217;ve witnessed it<\/strong>. Anita, delivers <strong>&#8220;TENTS&#8221; <\/strong>to these families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, the <strong>most vulnerable people<\/strong> who are<strong> &#8220;RARELY&#8221; <\/strong>mentioned, <strong>(CHILDREN)<\/strong>, are now <strong>subjected to miss school<\/strong>, which will <strong>inhibit their education<\/strong>, and the <strong>ability to have &#8220;A&#8221; meal<\/strong>, that in some children cases <strong>are the only meal they will have that day<\/strong>. While having to sleep in <strong>&#8220;UNFAMILIAR&#8221; places.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every year, according to the <strong>&#8220;Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pnas.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">(https:\/\/www.pnas.org\/)<\/a><\/strong> eviction filings involve and <strong>affect 2.9 million children.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is sad <strong>when Anita and I see with our own eyes, families walking down the street with bags under their arms and children by their side looking back at the hotel hole they were evicted from.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;<strong>PO&#8221; people who are already living with pain because of their income and living conditions, become more depressed, angry, and frustrated when they are forced to dwell like nomadic animals.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, here is the <strong>biggest &#8220;QUESTION&#8221; coming Branson&#8217;s board members way<\/strong>. When that cold winter <strong>weather hits, (and it will), <\/strong>is the city prepared to <strong>&#8220;SAVE THE LIVES&#8221;<\/strong> of those same little <strong>&#8220;INNOCENT&#8221; children<\/strong>, whom were <strong>&#8220;FORCED&#8221; to the streets -AND- woods with their parents<\/strong> due to the cost for <strong>&#8220;BASIC&#8221; living being unreachable <\/strong>for most people<strong> living on SSI in Branson? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost for these <strong>&#8220;NASTY&#8221; hotel holes<\/strong> take up the <strong>&#8220;MAJORITY&#8221;<\/strong> of their check. Average<strong> hotel hole runs about $800<\/strong> per month and <strong>SSI pays about $940 per month<\/strong>. Now, you <strong>do the math.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TINY HOMES THAT ANITA AND I SIGNED UP FOR ALMOST 4 SEASONS AGO? I BELIEVE THE RENT FOR THESE UNIT WOULD HAVE BEEN AROUND $300 &#8211; $400 PER MONT<\/strong>H, WHICH WOULD GIVE A <strong>STRUGGLING FAMILY A &#8220;FIGHTING&#8221; CHANCE.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, <strong>some of these Branson Board members <\/strong>are allowing and approving this type of <strong>&#8220;PREYING&#8221; on &#8220;PO&#8221; folks<\/strong> by allowing <strong>&#8220;CONVERSIONS&#8221; <\/strong>of these <strong>ancient, nasty, hotel holes <\/strong>to <strong>&#8220;QUALIFY&#8221; <\/strong>as an apartment. By doing so, <strong>&#8220;PO&#8221; folks rent goes &#8220;WAY&#8221; up<\/strong>, <strong>WHILE BEING MISLED.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8211;AGAIN, LET ME EXPLAIN&#8211;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>$800 per month rent, -AND- SSI pays about $940 per month.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EVEN TO <strong>FURTHER THE PAIN<\/strong>, IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN &#8220;<strong>3-HEART BEATS&#8221; IN YOUR FAMILY (INCLUDING PETS)<\/strong>, YOU ARE <strong>&#8220;FORCED&#8221;<\/strong> ACCORDING TO THE <strong>&#8220;NEW RULES&#8221; <\/strong>TO RENT<strong> &#8220;2 NASTY HOTEL HOLES.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>= $1,600 per month rent,<\/strong> and you need to<strong> have another family member with SSI or a job<\/strong> to pay <strong>for the second hotel hole<\/strong>. <strong>2-HOTEL HOLES FOR A FAMILY OF &#8220;3&#8221; WITH A &#8220;PET&#8221;.<\/strong> <strong>(= 4 HEART BEATS)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BIGGEST RIP OFF IN HOTEL HOLE HISTORY.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bransonoutreach.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">If you are forced to live on the streets, and hungry, and possibly &#8220;NEED A TENT,&#8221; contact the Branson Outreach Warriors as they do not judge you.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.householddealz.com\/portfolio\/what-happened-to-the-family-that-went-to-court\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WHO ARE WE?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dallas &amp; Anita Williams<br>Hotel Hole Renters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PLEASE BE SAFE EVERYONE!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nzone = \"1\";\nurl = \"https:\/\/householddealz.com\/adpro\";\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/householddealz.com\/adpro\/show.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/bransonoutreach.org\/headlinernews\/cn\/cn.php?id=1001\"><\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Right now in Branson hotels holes are &#8220;EVICTING&#8221; families.
