I was incarcerated for 7

I was incarcerated for 7 weeks, never before behind on my rent and only late once due to changing banks. I was a tenant before with Waco All Bill's Paid in 2016 to 2017. I fulfilled my lease and they released to me in 2019. Upon my incarceration which took place initially on 7/1/20 and went to Aug 5th 2020. They removed all my belongings placing them into a dumpster, among these items were my deceased fathers' items and grandfather's items,things I will never be atop replace.
Now currently 9/15/2020 I am still homeless. This is the most injust thing I've ever dealt with and have dealt with injustice ! All I could do for a month after my release was cry, then I became angry. Now I want justice!!
