Montgomery is the EVICTION capitol of Alabama

  

 

 

 

 

Montgomery has more evictions than any of the state's other large cities.

So we ask why the state is returning MILLIONS of dollars in federal aid designed to help people facing eviction?

From AL.COM story: 

...the U.S. Treasury is taking back some of the leftover money. That’s tens of millions of dollars from states, including Alabama, that did not distribute the aid quickly enough. This month, the U.S. Treasury recaptured $42 million of the state’s pot of $263 million, due to Alabama’s failure to meet distribution deadlines set by the department. Those dollars will now be sent elsewhere
