Episode Details

Ninety-year-old Shirley Hagens in Ferguson is trapped in a nightmare—her ceiling has two gaping holes, one over the living room and another in the dining room, after a terrifying incident three months ago that left her TV smashed and debris scattered. Despite paying rent on time, she’s been ignored by maintenance, only hearing busy signals. Her grandson urged her to leave, but she’s stayed, now living with constant fear that more of her home could collapse. As part of the Section 8 program, the St. Louis Housing Authority received her complaint and has scheduled an inspection for Wednesday—hoping this will finally force the property owner, Evergreen Live, to act before it’s too late.
