Description
Lisa Sheffield is currently staying at a temporary shelter at the Ramada Inn in National City.
It's just one of the hotels across San Diego County that’s being used to house flood victims. Sheffield and her family are among of the 400 people The Harvey Family Foundation is paying to stay in a hotel after their homes were damaged in the Jan. 22 flood.
She said she wonders if the city ever had a plan for a disaster like this.
"What's going to happen when there's a bigger storm,” she questioned.
Sheffield and her family live in Spring Valley. Their home is uninhabitable after the storm so they’ve found temporary housing at The Ramada Inn.
"We're still surviving. Every day is a new struggle. Right now, we have housing but every week, we have to check in.”
Sheffield says she’s grateful to have a roof over her head and a clean place to stay but they can’t wait to get back home because they’ve been through so much in the last three weeks.
