Flood-impacted renters in the Fraser Valley say they are worried about losing their new rental homes after financial support from the Red Cross stopped earlier than expected.
Anastasia Schell say her financial support from the Canadian Red Cross has unexpectedly ended and worries she won’t be able to pay her rent.Schell fled her home on the Sumas Prairie in Abbotsford, B.C., in November during the devastating floods.
Flood victims like Mary Dyck and Stan Verbeek say they would like to see improved communication by the Red Cross. "We have nothing. If we can't pay the rent, we are done," she said, noting her husband is the only working member of the family and earns a low income. Dyck and Schell were counting on financial support from the Red Cross for six months, or until they could find more affordable housing, whichever came first.Flood recovery support continues, says Red Cross
Floodwaters cover Highway 1 in Abbotsford, B.C., on Nov. 16, 2021. The province says it continues to work with the Canadian Red Cross to support flood-impacted British Columbians.Emergency Management B.C. says it continues to work with the Canadian Red Cross on how it can best support flood-impacted British Columbians and to ensure they receive support for as long as they need it.
Verbeek said he tried about eight times to connect with his case manager but was directed to other employees who took down his information and told him his case manager would be in touch."I tried and tried and nothing happened," he said.
