Lehigh Valley man lives in a cemetery. Now he’s facing eviction.
Confined to a hospital bed due to an accident, Jim Racht is facing eviction from an apartment he began renting in late 2022. Racht uses oxygen 24 hours a day. He takes liquid nourishment because swallowing solid food causes pain. He wears an alert button around his neck in case of emergency. Both his accident and housing predicament directly involve Easton Cemetery, which hired him part time in late 2022 for seasonal work — mowing grass — on the nearly 90-acre burial site in the city’s West Ward.
