You The housing opportunities of Montgomery county selected me for the VPC/ONE TWO CORP housing program on */*/* and provided sensitive information to caseworker Teara Washington on */*/*. After she left the company, I was directed to regional manager Yolanda Gulley, who failed to update me on my file's status. Despite multiple follow-ups, my application was lost for over 45 days, compromising my sensitive information and violating the Privacy Act of *. On */*/*, I was advised to submit a *-day notice to vacate my current apartment by */*.

I am now without housing and uncomfortable proceeding with the lease under these circumstances.
