Residents of a low-income extended stay are on the brink of displacement in Torrance. The residents got a letter mid-March saying they must leave by May 1.
Approximately 70 people are on the brink of displacement in Torrance as Vivo Flex Living, a residence catering to low-income tenants, is set to close its doors. "Right now, a lot of people are wondering if they're going to be homeless," said Cortlen Arterberry, a tenant.Kenneth Adams, a resident of the building, voiced the collective sentiment, stating, "We have all these people that are here… these are our homes."Ameera Nasser, another tenant, echoed the sentiment.
Despite demolition claims, residents say they have observed workers fixing some of the units, leading to doubts about the true intentions behind the closure."They are manipulating and lying to people so that they can increase the rates," Nasser said.Felicia Hayes highlighted potential alternatives."There are ways they can revive the building without putting everybody out," Hayes said.Residents say Vivo Flex Living management has offered no assistance for relocation.
