'We didn't have a holiday. Most of us lost everything'
Ivan Lewis, 53, was one of the hundreds of tenants displaced Monday after an electrical fire at Terrace Towers in East Cleveland.
As of Wednesday, some 100 of them were housed at an emergency shelter organized by the Salvation Army, where displaced tenants had access to clean clothes, a cot, clean bathrooms and a few meals. According to tenants, RHM Real Estate, the current owners of the building, orchestrated a remodeling of Terrace that was finished in 2021, which included repainting and mass refurnishing of the building. Part of the cost of the remodeling was paid for, they said, by a housing grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Like for most of his neighbors, Terrace was a place of refuge for Lewis, who sought shelter there after living homeless for years after his father died from lung cancer. Though he knows he's lucky to have some shirts and jackets to show, Lewis said he's trying to stay even despite being without a home again.An American Red Cross officer orchestrates care duties Wednesday at the Salvation Army in East Cleveland.
A call to the East Cleveland Fire Department was also unreturned. East Cleveland Police Chief Brian Gerhard refused to comment. As for the recent renovation:"Oh, they fixed it up," Lillard said, with an air of sarcasm."They put a piece of bubblegum on it.""They half did it, and still [some of] it was never painted. They never hooked up some of the wires," Lillard said.
