Frustrated with the System

I work with seniors. One lady is wonderful. She has been living in the same housing authority apartment for 35 years. Last year she had bedbugs as the building was infested. Pest control were called and took care of it. She lost most of her furniture. She has been waiting for them to come in to paint her apartment for the last year. The walls have not been painted for 35 years, so you can imagine what they look like. She's been waiting on having the painting done before she gets furniture. So for the last year, she's been on an air mattress. Repeated requests have gone in over the past year, nothing. I've contacted the counsellor for the area. Hopefully that will get her place painted. I'd paint it myself, but I don't have the money to buy the materials, and I can't be around the fumes. —Is it that hard to paint?
