The family from Elizabeth was relocated to a rural community where life looks a lot different.
But despite all the changes, it’s hard not to notice the cheerfulness and positivity in Tucker’s voice. She’s not only in a different place geographically, I can tell she’s also in a different place mentally and emotionally. I mention it and she agrees.
For months now, Tucker and her three daughters have been living in a two-bedroom apartment in a Woolwich Township complex, that’s managed by Community Investment Strategies Inc., the same private company that owns and manages the Oakwood Plaza apartment complex where they lived in Elizabeth. “But,” she reminds me, “we’re only living here temporarily.”
The temporary status of her living situation a year after the storm doesn’t really surprise her. She says about a month after Ida a CIS representative informed her that moving back into her Oakwood Plaza home could take anywhere from a year to three years. “[Oakwood Plaza tenants] were placed in apartments all over New Jersey,” she says. One of her former neighbors is in Toms River. Another in Atlantic City.
