HOUSTON—Some Houston residents say they endured difficult, often hazardous living conditions while waiting months, even years, for help from the city to fix flood-damaged homes after Hurricane Harvey.
Sleeping in a closet because it was the only space that didn’t reek of mold. Dealing with rodents and roaches that would come in through warped or rotted flooring. Couch surfing at 67 years old until patchwork repairs made a home temporarily habitable.
