Senator Rubio pushes HUD for urgent action on Eureka Garden
“The Department of Housing and Urban Development needs to exercise more urgency in dealing with the prolonged health and safety issues at Eureka Garden, they need to do a better job of communicating with residents and providing timely answers to the questions and concerns they have, and they need to begin immediate testing for unsafe levels of lead at Eureka Garden,” Rubio, a Florida Republican running for president, said in a statement Thursday.

The mother, according to Grant, went to apartment management, but felt they “pushed it to the side and never said anything about it.”
