The U.S. Small Business Administration has opened an office at The Park of River Oaks condominiums in Calumet City, the scene of a devastating Memorial Day fire that left a woman dead and displaced dozens, offering low-interest loans to affected residents.
Kim Anderson, a resident of The Park of River Oaks condominiums in Calumet City, points Friday to her damaged fifth-floor unit.
Wilhelmina K. Williamson, 85, died of thermal and inhalation injuries in the fire, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. Another seven people were injured in the fire, including three firefighters. She said she initially spent time in four area hotels, then with her sister in Chicago and is now staying with her daughter in Dolton. Jones said she has been told it could be two years before she’s able to move back into her condo.
She said her unit sustained mainly water damage, but there was virtually nothing she was able to salvage. Asked if she thinks she’ll ever be able to return to her condo, Jones gave a hopeful look.The SBA is making loans available in response to a July 1 letter from Gov. J. B. Pritzker requesting a disaster declaration.
