The Nation : MOVE Victims Get Homes
- Share via
Two West Philadelphia families whose homes were destroyed by fire when police bombed the headquarters of the MOVE political group last May moved into new row houses in their old neighborhood. They became the first to occupy city-sponsored replacements for the 61 houses lost in the fire, which left 11 persons dead and 250 homeless. The rebuilding is costing the city about $135,000 for each three-story, three-bedroom house. The contractor said most of the other houses will be completed by April 15.
