to help him go sign tie kese toa
house thar he wanted. Brother Mc-
Kinney was told by his caseworker
that all he had to do was siga

at Baldwin's Reahiy Co. we were
told that Mr. SicKinney coulds't
rent a house becavse he had not
established any credit In the city
in the last 13 years, Since Mr.
McKinney “isn't 2ble to work and
draws a disailiny check to take

showldn’t Lave needed any credit.
I took Mr. MeKianey directly ro
his caseworker, After she called
Baldwir ke told ber to send Mr.
McKinney back down to the Realty
Office. By the time we got there
