Displaced King Towers residents get opportunity to retrieve personal items
Residents given 4 relocation options
Richard Adams loaded up luggage, photos, clothes, golf clubs and anything he could fit in his SUV.
He was glad to finally be able to get his stuff out of his King Towers apartment Friday. But his relief was met with sadness.
"These things can be replaced. It's not like a life," Adams said.
As he packed up, he kept Cincinnati Firefighter Daryl Gordon and all the other firefighters who responded to last week's fire on his mind.
"I was on the fifth floor with another baby and a lady next door and everybody else. We were fortunate to get out because of their diligence," Adams said. "They were doing their jobs and putting their lives on the line to save other people, heroically, and I thank them for that. I think everybody else does too."
Adams and dozens of other displaced families are currently living in extended stay hotels.
King Towers owners told them that starting Monday, a relocation company will begin helping families find other temporary housing.
"They'll talk to you about what kind of housing needs you have, if you have children, any other concerns around relocation. They바카라 게임 웹사이트re going to meet with you," TCB Community Life director Cinnamon Pelly said.
In order to preserve their housing subsidy, one concern some residents had was if they were still expected to pay their King Towers rent.
"We are still talking to HUD about what kind of flexibility or other options that they make available because this was a fire. But right now, we want to make sure it바카라 게임 웹사이트s clear that you pay your rent," Pelly said.
Property owners said they're working with multiple other agencies to help make this time of uncertainty a little easier for their families.
The owners of King Towers did establish a hotline for any questions people may have. That number is 513-766-8082.
