Back in April of this year the City of Sharon shut down State Towers Apartments in April after finding close to 60 safety code violations inside the building. In addition, the building's manager Joe Fusco, had not been paying the sewer bill, ultimately leaving residents without water and shelter.

Three months after the unexpected shutdown, 25 out of 35 displaced tenants found new housing with the help from local agencies.

"Which isn't always easy, finding housing quickly, but I'm glad that [the tenants] were able to take one day at a time and focus on trying to rebuild their lives," Erin Houston, president and CEO of Shenango valley Urban League told 21 news.

The occupants of the building were forced out of their units and many of them were unable to retrieve their belongings. Organizers from Shenango Valley Urban League and Community Action Partnership of Mercer County (CAPMC) are suppling the former State Towers tenants with essential items as a welcome home kit for their new living space.

"It includes everything from pot and pans, dishes, silverware, glassware," Wilma Torres, president and CEO of CAPMC said.

Houston says her organization is providing tenants with new furniture and helping them pay rent.

Sharon City Manager Bob Fiscus says "At this point, we are just monitoring the building," adding "Because taxes are behind, it's a possibility it could go up for tax sale, but as of now everything remains status quo."
