GRAND BLANC TOWNSHIP (WJRT) - (11/20/06)--Monday brought an update

on the Grand Blanc Township family who bought a home then two years

later discovered it had a basement.

As they investigated further, the family found the basement

was full of water and the house was loaded with toxic mold. On

Friday the family was forced to move.

Stacey and were forced to move out of their home on

Woodsdale Friday because of concerns over toxic mold.

They were approached about renting another house in their

neighborhood on Westdale but couldn't afford the rent.

The owners of that home came down in price so the family could

afford to move in for about a year while their other home is being

repaired.

Neighbors donated furniture, appliances, clothes and toys because

very little could be salvaged from the old home.

The es are now suing the previous homeowners for failing to

disclose the mold problems and for sealing the basement.

The Michigan College of Beauty in Waterford is coordinating

assistance for the family.
