The same month as one of the alleged belly dancer parties, 12-year old Ebony Gage suffered a near fatal asthma attack that occurred after her mother says poorly trained Philadelphia housing authority inspectors failed to properly inspect her home for dangerous mold. “Nobody cared,†said Angelique McKinney, Ebony’s mother. “The representatives down there, they look at you, like, ‘Oh well, it’s not our problem, you need to take care of this or you need to handle this. It’s like they ignored everything I said.†McKinney alleges water leaks went unrepaired for years, eventually turning her home into a toxic pit filled with mold. Ebony may never walk or talk again and the Housing authority settled out of court for $9.6 million. “You go from looking at your 12 year old dancing and talking, to the next day you got a feeding tube and you can’t hear her saying anything,†McKinney said. “I just want her to say ‘mommy,’ I just want her to say ‘mommy’ and that is it.†Last fall, after a series of newspaper exposes, the Philadelphia agency’s executive director was forced out of his $300,000 a year job running the country’s fourth largest public housing authority. And now federal investigators have opened their own probe. Lawmakers like Sen. Grassley, R-Iowa, wonder how such problems could go undetected for years by HUD.
