“Residents said many people in the Griswold live on less than $600 a month and rely on walkers and electric mobility scooters. One resident, 90-year-old Esther Harding, has lived in the Griswold for more than 29 years. “I feel safe here,” she said. “I am alone. I’m afraid of what I might run into where I have to move.” Another resident, Avery Chambers, 24, is disabled and moves around in a wheelchair. He has lived in the Griswold since he was 13. “I’ve grown up here, and now they’re taking it all away from me,” he said. “I don’t know where I’m going to move.””
