Mothers with children staying at the shelter were displaced over Easter Weekend as it was reported that The Children's Center was infested with bed bugs, mold and high concentrations of lead.
"These are families that have been in crisis, and this has been a very traumatic event for them. I think that as social service providers, or just humans, we would want to treat people as we would want to be treated. The stories we are hearing and the pictures they're sharing, it's not okay," said Paula Tobon, executive director for St. Vincent's House.
Some of the displaced residents, like Kelly Needham and her two sons, are now staying at a hotel in the area. But they don't know how long they'll be able to stay. They are hoping for some accountability from the administration running the facility. Government grants and donations fund the Children's Center. Keiser said part of the funding comes from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the building is leased out from Galveston County on the provision that the center handles all the maintenance.
