| Well, check out this HUD pamphlet in "Creole," which includes little gems like "Yuh as a rezedent, ave di rights ahn di rispansibilities to elp mek yuh HUD-asisted owzing ah behta owme." | |

|
 |
| | |
| And... "Dis is a brochure distributed to yuh cawze Hud ah provide some fawm ahf asistance aur subsidy fi di whole apawtment buildin." | |

| HUD said that the pamphlet was a prank carried out by "someone," but that the pamphlet was not HUD-approved. Still, more than 2,000 copies were made and distributed. | |
