Lorain homeless shelter, neighbors still recovering from summertime flooding

LORAIN, Ohio — Issues have lingered for several months from what has been called a once-in-a-lifetime rainstorm in late August. Lorain County’s largest homeless shelter is nearly ready to welcome back clients after several months of work to repair flooding damage.

“This is a very poor neighborhood. We have a lot of people who are low-income,” she said. “Just the impact to those people, I can’t imagine. It breaks my heart.” She estimated the flooding caused around $300,000 in damage to the facility’s kitchen, laundry area, community space and case management office. It destroyed flooring, doors, HVAC systems and nearly all of the kitchen equipment.

“They’re already displaced when they come to us. So it was really unfortunate when this flood happened, and then we had to displace them again,” Haywood said.
