Description
Unorganized. Confusing. Delayed.
That’s how San Diego flood victims describe the process of navigating disaster assistance with San Diego city and county officials. Many have just hours left of housing paid for by local nonprofits, unless they get extensions.
CBS 8 was with Mary "Angie" Landavazo Wednesday as she tried to secure a new place for her family to stay. A local nonprofit has been paying for their hotel stay since their home was flooded by an overflowing channel January 22. But that stay ended Wednesday at check out.
When CBS 8 met up with Landavazo, she was on the phone with San Diego Housing Commission to see where they could put them.
200 families — nearly 1,000 people — like Landavazo’s cannot live in their homes. Now they need government assistance.
Many of Landavazo’s neighbor's vouchers they got from the YMCA also ran out Wednesday, but the YMCA came through with an extension so they wouldn’t be homeless.
