Miami Residents Relocated After Apartment Fire

The City of Miami has successfully relocated over 60 displaced residents from the Temple Court Apartments, which were destroyed by a fire in June, to new homes at Sawyer's Walk. Mayor Francis Suarez and city officials warmly welcomed the residents, most of whom are elderly and disabled, to their new apartments equipped with modern amenities. The relocation, facilitated by the Atlantic Housing Foundation and city officials, has been celebrated as a significant relief for those who had spent months in temporary accommodations. The new homes allow residents to pay only 30% of their income in rent, ensuring affordability. The fire was caused by 73-year-old Juan Francisco Figueroa, who has been charged in connection with the incident. Mayor Suarez emphasized the importance of dignity for the residents as they start this new chapter in their lives.
