SUMMARY: Residents of the Gardens of Beacon Square in New Port Richey are facing evacuation for 6 to 12 months due to repair work following back-to-back hurricanes. Many are grappling with the emotional toll of leaving their homes, which have suffered from flood damage. The condo association insists immediate remediation is necessary due to safety concerns, with FEMA covering repair costs but not personal property loss.

Jennifer plans to relocate to Georgia with her mother.

In a letter to residents, attorneys for the Gardens at Beacon Square condo association said flood water infiltration is dangerous, so remediation needs to start immediately.
