PANAMA CITY — Red Cross has been providing food and shelter to families displaced after Monday’s fire at the Apex Apartments in Callaway, and will continue to do so as long as necessary, officials announced Wednesday.
Caseworkers continue to meet with the 14 families who were affected to help identify individual needs, and provide referral services to help with finding alternative housing. Volunteers and staff anticipate providing follow-up casework for weeks to come.
The Red Cross noted the agency has been helped by the Homeless & Hunger Coalition, the state Department of Children and Families, the state Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, the Bay County Sheriff’s Office, and 90 Works.
