From KOAT-TV.com - ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Just days before Christmas, the roof of an Albuquerque family's home collapsed -- just feet away from where two children normally sleep.
After the incident, the family said it wasn't getting any help until Action 7 News showed up.
Parent Gracy Medel said she started noticing a leak in the ceiling of her two girl's room so she moved the children out. Not long after that, the roof collapsed right where the children sleep.
Medel lives in city-supervised affordable housing and said the roof had been leaking since January. She said a crew came out but never even went up on the roof. The water damage is now spreading throughout the home. There are even pockets of water in the hallway ceiling.
After Action 7 News got involved, a maintenance worker arrived and the family was given an emergency transfer. Medel said they've been waiting months for a transfer. Read more
