Last Wednesday, outside the Cinnamon Cove Apartments, residents and activists gathered to demand that tenants get free housing arrangements while post-Milton repairs are underway at the complex just north of Tampa’s University Square Neighborhood.
A press release from the local chapter of Party for Socialism and Liberation says entire families are sleeping on the streets and in grass. “ Families are left with nothing—no beds, no blankets, or mattresses. Mold is starting to set in after days of flooding,” the release added.
Like many parts of Hillsborough County, Cinnamon Cove is not in a high-risk flood zone. Still, WTSP says heavy rains associated with Hurricane Milton led to waist-deep flooding. Reps for the apartment complex did not respond to the TV station. This is a developing story.
