JoAnn Alvarez
My name is JoAnn Alvarez, and I moved into Golden Meadows about three years ago with my late husband – before Havenpark bought the park.
Just among my friends and neighbors, I know of six or seven people who are also recently widowed. Some are in their 80’s and living on even smaller fixed incomes now that their spouses are gone. I've heard that new residents pay $200 more per month - an amount we just can't afford.
On top of that I’ve heard that on the other side of the park, our neighbors are having issues with the water pressure, brown water, and broken pipes.
It's scary to rock the boat cause there's nowhere else for us to go. But we need to speak out because if we don't stand up for ourselves, no one else will.
