Tenants at the fast-deteriorating Forest Cove apartment complex soon may be able to rest their heads in comfort and safety.
City of Atlanta officials have identified 170 units available in other apartment complexes, which would be enough to temporarily house most of the 211 families still living at Forest Cove, Mayor Andre Dickens announced at a Wednesday press conference.
An Atlanta judge condemned the property in December and set a March 1 deadline to relocate the residents.
