Woodbridge, Va. — More than 40 families remain without permanent housing following floods that ravaged the Holly Acres Mobile Home Park earlier this month.
Today, those families along with the Woodbridge Flood Victims Committee will hold a press conference to announce a benefit concert for the flood victims. That conference is scheduled at noon at the Woodbridge mobile home park where so many are still trying to put their lives back together, said Ricardo Juarez Nava with Mexicans Without Borders.
On Friday, a temporary shelter at First Mt. Zion Baptist Church closed its doors. About 70 people were transferred to that shelter after a Red Cross shelter at the Sharon Baucom Dale City Recreation Center closed.
The flood victims committee says it’s working with several other churches and organizations in Prince William County to help find aid for the homeless. They also add private construction firms have donated their time to demolish trailers at no cost to the homeowner.
The Prince William County Board of Supervisors has already donated more than $65,000 to the flood victim relief effort.
