JACKSON, MI – The smell of smoke still lingers in the clothing and bedding of the people displaced by an arson fire at Reed Manor Monday night.
The approximately 25 residents of the public housing apartments are mostly senior citizens, who are now living at a Holiday Inn and eating cold meals, cereal and Lunchables supplied by the American Red Cross, Jackson Housing Commission Housing Advocate Justin Counts said.
“We have a big population of elderly residents that don’t have teeth, it’s hard to eat those kinds of things,” Counts said.
