Close to 20 people are now without a home on the Eastern Shore after their apartments were condemned on Thursday.
“Unsafe or unfit for habitation” is what it now says on the front doors of many homes at the Seabreeze apartments, a section 8 complex in Cape Charles.
John Hood “It’s like you know I came home and everything is fine and then in two hours my whole world just collapsed and turned upside down,” Nioaka Marshall, a resident, said. “I’m in limbo”
Marshal said on Wednesday she received a notice that an inspection was being done on Feb. 8 by the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development and Cape Charles.
She said when she returned to her apartment Thursday night, she received another letter stating for their own safety and well being it is necessary that you are temporarily relocated immediately.
“They gave us two hours to be out and said that the building were condemned and that we had to get out, and then they put us up in a motel for four days,” Marshall said.
