In August and October 2022, fatal gas-related incidents occurred in Millennia Companies' properties, resulting in four deaths. Residents had previously reported issues to the management without response, indicating negligence. Millennia, a major owner of affordable housing, has faced longstanding complaints about hazardous living conditions, including mold and infestation, prompting tenants to organize for change. The deaths reflect a broader neglect of safety and tenant welfare, raising alarm over corporate practices in housing management.
"The separate disasters transpired roughly 180 miles away from one another, but they had one thing in common: both took place in buildings owned and managed by The Millennia Companies."
"According to legal complaints filed later on, tenants alerted Millennia about the gas leak in Mississippi but the company failed to fix it, and Arkansas tenants had complained to management about the smell of gas in the building just one day before the explosion."
