Latosha Funches and her two children have been living in the apartment for three years, but just recently she says a mold problem has surfaced so bad that mushrooms are growing out of the ceiling in a couple of bedrooms and in the bathroom.
Funches says she's complained to the property management company, but because she is a HUD tenant, her rent is roughly $23 a month for the three bedrooms, she feels like no one is listening.

The alderman of the 20th ward is trying to work with the family to get them a new apartment.
