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.

Police found the man running along U.S. 1 in Woodbridge and later took him to the hospital where he later died. Insidenova.com has more.
