February 18, 2015 - During a snow day (from left to right), Yvette Churchman, 27, has a phone conversation while her daughter Le'na Churchman, 9, her niece Damia Fason, 10, and daughter Dar-Janae Churchman, 4, amuse themselves by playing with each other's hair Wednesday morning. For the past 8-9 months, the family has been living in deplorable conditions at Cypress Gardens, a Section 8 apartment complex in Hyde Park. Inside their home, the Churchman family has bulging shelves, bedbug and rodent infestations, mold and mildew, and busted pipes. "My floor's so weak, in a minute, I'm going to fall into Ursula's (Ware) apartment," Churchman states with frustration. "There's nothing I can do." (Yalonda M. James/The Commercial Appeal)
