Randi Berardi is one of the many left waiting.
"Every day I wake up and that is the first thing that is on my mind," the Charlotte woman said. "I don't have anybody to fall back on immediately."
Berardi, laid off from her job in October, said she is behind on rent. While she said her property manager has remained "very cooperative," the longer she waits, the more stressed she becomes.
"I am getting nervous now that it is past the end of December into January," she said. "We have just been kind of left in the dark. No communication. Nobody to talk to or get any answers from."
