WICHITA FALLS, Texas (TNN) - Wichita Falls First Step is urging residents to bring awareness to human trafficking during the month of January.
“I’ve seen it where the victim comes in and they have the GPS in their skin we’ve seen it right here in Wichita Falls and people just don’t see that side of it but this is scary,” said Michelle Turnbow, Executive Director of First Step.

Pursuant to the terms of a conciliation agreement, the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) announced earlier this month that it facilitated settlement of a sexual harassment Fair Housing Act (FHA) case from California. As a part of the agreement, the Respondents, although denying the allegations, agreed to pay $13,000 as well as provide a neutral landlord reference.
Factually, a resident claimed she was harassed by a maintenance employee at the property. After reporting the alleged misconduct, the resident (who was assisted by a local fair housing advocacy group) asserted management failed to grant her an otherwise appropriate reasonable accommodation request because of a disability and ultimately evicted her from the property.

MANCHESTER, NH – Last year, nearly 1,400 people experienced homelessness on any given day in New Hampshire, according to the Continuum Care to the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development.
Sixty of them died, not necessarily on the street as in the case of Gary Silver, 64, who died Nov. 30 after a propane tank exploded in his tent in the woods off Willow Street.
Still, 27 of those 60 people were individuals residing in Manchester, all with no permanent homes at the time of their deaths.
