Baltimore spent over $15 million on hotels to house homeless families—only to discover mold, mushrooms growing from carpets, and raw sewage in some locations. One dad, Marcus Clark, watched his kids get sick and hospitalized after mold spores were found in their air conditioning unit. Despite reporting the issues, nothing changed until the city’s Inspector General stepped in. Advocates are demanding accountability and long-term housing solutions as residents have stayed in these unsafe shelters for over two years. The city now promises new maintenance plans, including pest control and ventilation checks—but survivors say real change must come faster.
