Halima Eidl lives in a St. Paul apartment that has urine-stained carpet and also mold, mice, roaches and rats. Despite that, she isn't looking to move.

But Eidl and about five dozen of the city's poorest families could find themselves homeless later this month.

The families live in two East Side apartment buildings that are on the verge of bank foreclosure, city condemnation or orders for eviction.
