City of San Bernardino shutting down illegal apartment building that left hundreds living in squalid conditions - but many tenants have nowhere else to go
Hundreds of people living in a squalid San Bernardino dormitory building are scrambling to find new housing after learning the building will be shut down.Residents say the building - an illegally converted dormitory - is plagued by rats and roaches, as well as mold, electrical issues and other hazards.
Residents are used to paying low rental rates and say it will be difficult to find another place that is so cheap. "I was homeless for four years before I moved in here, and I refuse to go back to being homeless," said building resident Angelina Trammell-Krone. She says she and most of her fellow residents don't make enough income to afford most other apartments.Jeff Kraus, a spokesman for San Bernardino, says the city is working to find new housing for residents.
