“The Ordinance Amending Chapter 13, of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Providence, Entitled: “Housing” to add article VII- “Security In Housing Development for the Elderly and Persons with Disabilities” will provide necessary security measures all residents deserve. Although the Council decided to table the legislation, I will continue my commitment to ensure all residents of marginalized communities are safe and protected in their homes. I am disappointed in the Providence Housing Authority’s unwillingness to implement basic security measures that keep elderly and persons with disabilities safe. I look forward to working with the City Solicitor and City Council staff to continue this fight to hold landlords and developers accountable for the safety and wellbeing of their residents,” said Councilor David Salvatore (Ward 14).
