It has been reported that she’s received approximately $500,000 from the settlement, so far. But like most people, she doesn’t desire for the money to led to drastic changes in her life. In fact, not very much will change at all; not even her address. Home Sweet Home: Despite the staggering windfall, Esaw Garner has revealed she has no plans to move out of public housing. Since the $2.4 million will not count against her income, she would actually be able to continue living in her apartment in Fulton Houses where she’s lived for years, reports the New York Post.
