The resident, Mildred Garrison-Obi, 65, was unable to keep up with her full mortgage payments because of an injury, according to Occupy Our Homes Atlanta.

Garrison-Obi, who said she was evicted last November from her home off N. Hairston Road, told Patch she's been battling to stay in her home for a few years and the legal matters still aren't over. She's trying to get her case heard in the court system.
