LUMBERTON — The Lumberton City Council on Wednesday accepted an application for a conditional-use permit for seven homeless veterans and their caretaker, all of whom have been told they must leave their rental home on Glenn Street.

K&L Veterans’ Homes and Services was served with an eviction notice from GMAC bank on June 12 and given 90 days to leave the rental home at 903 Glenn St., according to documents submitted to the council by the city’s Neighborhood Planning and Services Board. In September, Karla Carter, founder of the veterans’ home, submitted a letter to GMAC asking for a 60-day extension; she has since found a home at 411 Carthage Road to which to relocate.

In her letter to the bank, Carter wrote that she had been paying rent to Johnnie Renee Sweeney, owner of the home, from October 2009 to August 2012, and was not notified by Sweeney that the property was under foreclosure. Carter said she didn’t find out until she was served with the eviction notice.

“Unbeknownst to Ms. Carter, they foreclosed on this lady’s house, and the lady did not tell the veterans home that they had foreclosed, until they got a knock on the door and were told to get out,” Councilman Erich Hackney said during the council’s monthly policy meeting.

Only veterans who have been honorably discharged and not convicted of a felony are allowed to live in the home, and people who live within 150 feet of the home must be notified of plans to locate there. Hackney asked that the notification radius be doubled because the veterans home is being moved to a high-population area.

“These people paid rent faithfully for almost two years to their landlord, and their landlord pocketed the money and did not pay the mortgage company, and now, homeless veterans, a few days after Veterans Day, have to be on the streets,” Councilman John Cantey said.

On Wednesday, veterans were still at the home. Carter could not be reached for comment.

A public hearing on the conditional-use permit will be scheduled during Monday’s City Council meeting.

The council on Monday also authorized the city to apply to the North Carolina Rural Center for a $150,000 building reuse grant to assist with the renovation of a building in Lumberton for an unknown industry as part of “Project Flow.” The project includes an investment of $1 million in building and machinery, and is expected to create 40 jobs with an average wage of $15 an hour plus benefits.
