Family of eight waited weeks for a working refrigerator, several other repairs

ABC15 Investigator Melissa Blasius has built a reputation for asking tough questions and taking action on behalf of Arizona families.

PHOENIX, AZ — A family of eight, whose sober living home was shut down last year, found themselves with a second housing crisis this spring when they were having trouble getting repairs made at their government-subsidized apartment.

After living in a motel for weeks, the family was able to move into City Place using the City of Phoenix's Housing Choice Voucher Program, formally known as Section 8. Celtic Property Management, which operates City Place, and the City Housing Department told ABC15 the family's apartment passed the HUD-required, pre-move-in inspection for government-subsidized apartments.

Lara Cerri has been advocating for the family. She shared an email to Celtic on March 13 about Moses' ongoing maintenance problems. After five more days and still no repairs, Lara called the ABC15 Investigators.
