Management designed, but that it also is in keeping
with the Department of Housing and Urban
Development's guidelines.
44HUD has some guidelines but they leave discretion
to the management," said Boatright. "It's our
guidelines to have the one-child-per-bedroom rule
because of the size of the bedrooms at Goler. In
some apartments, you can have two or three people
in the same bedroom, but those bedrooms are just
too small."
According to Morse, after you get a "bed and a
thin sheet of toilet paper in the room," that's all it
can accommodate.
While all of the tenants at Goler won't be forced
to leave the complex, many others will have to move
from the two- or three-bedroom units they presently
occupy into larger apartments.
The complex's management decided to make the
changes in an effort to house only one family in
each apartment, Boatright said.
In her family's case, Mrs. Jones has four children
and three of those have children of their own. According
to management's guidelines, that means

four families live in one apartment.
"'Sometimes families have to split up," said
Boatright. "That's what has happened and that's
why some of the overcrowding has occurred. But in
the case where there are very large families, their
best bet is to find a house."
Alderman Virginia Newell, whose ward contains
the Goler Apartments, said that, while she realizes
the plight some residents face, she also realizes that
the complex's management must make changes to
improve the problem-plagued apartments.

"I*ve gone to bat many times to get help for those

either Nov. 30 or Dec. 31, but if the families look
for housing and can't find it, Boatright said, they
may be given extensions on a case-by-case basis.
''That's what scares me," said Mosley. "Where
are we gonna go? I've been looking but I can't find
nothing."

Dave Thompkins, executive director of the city's

"Families outgrow units all the time," said
Thompkins. "But we try to relocate them to
another larger or, in some cases, smaller unit. We
have public housing up to five bedrooms."

strict as the ones imposed at Goler.
"It's not that black and white,** said Mitchell.
"It depends on the age and sex of the children.
There are some factors that go into making a decision.*'
But Mitchell added that, when families become
too large for the apartment and no other units are
available, they have to move.
"If the family grew to the point where the unit
was overcrowded and that was the largest size unit
we had, they would have to move because we don't
allow overcrowding," she said. "That makes ghettos.**
Goler manager Morse said it's "unfortunate"
that the units had existed in their overcrowded state
for as long as they have. But the main goal now,
said Morse, is to get the units back into good condi

"We are not trying to get at anybody," Morse
said. "But we are trying to get it back the way it's
supposed to be and get it back in the right physical
condition." _
