Gladys Tiffany, Director Omni Center for Peace Justice & Ecology It’s been an intense week of trying to work out schedules and details for all the people of the white house. 30 days was really not a charitable amount of time to ask low income people to make abrupt changes like this.  The while house is empty and the people have moved, thanks to you help. Of the eight, one found a normal apartment without help from you and me. It’s a studio that he’s paying not much more than he was paying before. He had the advantage of being a veteran. He didn’t […]

Gladys Tiffany, Director Omni Center for Peace Justice & Ecology Jan 5 2025 If the SZ Apartment Corporation and the legal system have no heart, that’s not true of Omni people. You are people who have heart in spades. You’ve donated over $3300 to help the eight people who live in this apartment find other housing over the winter. If you’ve gotten the posts from Facebook and GoFundMe you know that one couple has found a safe place and is moving now – thanks to your generosity – and others are still struggling to find a place. Some feel that […]

Gladys Tiffany, Director Omni Center for Peace Justice & Ecology Dec 20 2024 The first real hearing on the first lawsuit – the SZ Apartments against us – about the fate of the old white house and the people living in it, happened Tuesday before last.

But at the hearing, the charges had shifted to it being a potential fire […]
