While county leaders are pleased with his progress, Wilmington Housing Authority Director Tyrone Garrett missed his goal of getting all the families displaced by the mold crisis back home by the end of 2022. Residents, especially in those communities still waiting after years for remediation work, are frustrated.
For more than a year, residents from the Wilmington Housing Authority have been displaced because of mold in their homes. Now more units are coming back online, but WHA officials say they’ll have to cut some benefits starting this Friday to make ends meet.
