BOSTON/Hyde Park - A family of eight living in Hyde Park was saved from eviction earlier today following negotiations between lawyers with the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau and mortgage holder Aurora Bank, and a loud, raucous rally sponsored by Jamaica Plain-based City Life Vida Urbana. The reprieve is temporary. Another order to carry out the eviction, which was to be executed this morning by a Boston Housing Court Constable, will more than likely be issued tomorrow, according to City Life organizers.

BOSTON/Hyde Park - A group of over 30 housing advocates - many of them tenants in apartments subsided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development - held a rally in Cleary Square Saturday in support of a raft of proposed legislation and treaties at all levels of government that would help low-income families remain in their current apartments at lower than market rates. The event was organized by the Mass. Alliance of HUD Tenants, a statewide coalition representing tenants in privately-owned, HUD subsidized apartments.
