An official for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has granted Ms. Hollis permission to return to her Detroit home, saying she can stay there for the rest of her life.
As Reported By The Detroit Free Press:
“We were absolutely thunderstruck when we understood that a 101-year-old woman was put out of her home,” said Brian Sullivan, HUD spokesman.
Sullivan said HUD officials have informed Hollis’ niece and granddaughter that Hollis can move back into the Carbondale Street home she has lived in for 50 years — as soon as she is released from Henry Ford Hospital, where she has been since the eviction.
Sullivan said HUD officials mistakenly thought Hollis’ home was a tax foreclosure before they reviewed the case.
