Last September more than 500 homes in the community were left unlivable. Heavy rain from Hurricane Ian flooded the neighborhood, which had also struggled with flooding from previous storms.

Demolition of the properties began in May.

Some residents are suing Good Samaritan Society, claiming the company was negligent in not warning about the community’s flood risk, and also took advantage of vulnerable adults.
