Pasadena : King’s Villages Investigated
The city’s Human Relations Commission Tuesday asked the Board of Directors to investigate conditions at King’s Villages, a housing project in Northwest Pasadena.
Several community organizations and individuals have complained for more than a year about alleged civil rights violations and poor housing conditions at the 313-unit low-income project on Fair Oaks Avenue.
The commission cited a report by the Fair Housing Council of San Gabriel Valley that documented a number of eviction cases at the project and outlined the need for legal aid to help tenants fight evictions.
The board directed city staff to investigate and report back within 45 days.
