Forest Cove’s residents finally seem close to moving out of the Southside apartment complex that was condemned in December. Now, it’s up to city of Atlanta leaders and property owner Millennia Housing Management to make good on their promise to relocate the 211 households still living there by mid-July.
Millennia is expected to sit down with tenants of the distressed Section 8 complex this week—perhaps as soon as Wednesday—and tell people when they can expect to pack up and where they’ll go, according to company spokesperson Valerie Jerome and Housing Justice League activists.
Forest Cove residents have been waiting years for Millennia—and prior owner Global Ministries Foundation before that—to bring the complex, long infested with mold, sewage overflows, bugs, rodents, and crime, up to inhabitable standards.
