A Cape Cod community is now scrambling to help local veterans to find a new place to live after they were served eviction notices earlier this week.
According to Carol Eklund, the lodge's property manager, the main reason it is shutting down is because it will cost too much money to bring housing up to code.
"It's just too much money at this point, we already put a lot into it. A lot of these people have a hard time paying as it is," she said, referencing the rent."We did this to try and help. As long as we can get these people into a situation where they're safe, clean and taken care of, we're happy.""If there's anybody out there that can help, has a room or unit for rent, we've got some good people here," she said.
State Rep. Steven Xiarhos, a Republican serving in the 5th Barnstable District, also visited the property on Wednesday.He said that he's now contacting local and state agencies to try and help — a mission that, to him, is personal. "My son came home to me in a flag-draped coffin. He lives in the cemetery at 21," Xiarhos said."He would want us to do everything for his brothers and sisters, and that's what we all want."
