Here’s the excerpt with only grammatical corrections:

Thank you for the opportunity to be heard.

My name is Carla Hollingsworth, and I would like to speak about something that I feel really passionate about – living at Stuyvesant Gardens. I moved in on May 23, 1990, with my three children. I have had to endure deplorable conditions for decades, and I have lived in three different buildings of the development. The nonexistent insulation, compounded with the radiators that shoot steam at times, causes mold to grow in our closets, and the bathroom vents that have never worked cause the mold to grow in our bathrooms. Then there are the leaks from above that are covered up and never found. By covered up, I mean they will open up the ceiling or wall and eventually close it back up without finding the leak. The dampness attracts the roaches, which live in the walls coexisting with the mice that you can often hear scurrying in the walls. After attending meetings where I’ve asked what the permanent plans are for our development, which was originally built as temporary housing, I have never received an answer.

I was asked by one of the people who descended on the development, knocking on doors and spreading misinformation, what I wanted, and when I answered “accountability,” I was told that I should be happy with a nice apartment. I keep being told that I have no choice because NYCHA doesn’t have the money to do the necessary repairs. That is not the fault of the tenants. I keep being told that NYCHA has been underfunded for decades, but they don’t mention the misappropriated funds throughout the decades. And in light of all that we have been through over the years, we are now being told that we have to trust the entity that has not done the right thing by us to be the oversight of the entities they have chosen to do what they couldn’t. UNFAIR. But, so they tell me, we don’t have a choice. Why? Other developments got the ability to choose the route they wanted to take moving forward—why not us?
