7/26/24 Update from Atlantic Housing Management:

We would like to express our utmost gratitude for the Miami city officials, local nonprofits, and businesses that are continuing to meet residents’ immediate needs. We are regularly communicating with HUD and pursuing all available options for alternative housing for our displaced Temple Court residents. We have found some promising possibilities for long-term housing that we believe will be great options for the residents. We will share more once a solution is established.

This group of Temple Court seniors has been through so much, and we see them persevering through this very difficult time. They continue to need help and support from the community as they begin to rebuild their lives. Atlantic Housing Foundation, Inc, the owner of Temple Court, is donating $100,000 to benefit the residents, and has set up a GoFundMe for others to donate to this cause: https://gofund.me/535d4ae6. We’re asking the Miami community and anyone else touched by this tragedy to help us double the impact. Every dollar donated will help these seniors to replace their belongings and get back on their feet.
