Murfreesboro home floods, owner wonders what to do without flood insurance

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WTVF) — A Murfreesboro family is left wondering what to do next after their home flooded.

The family sent us this picture of their home on Brink Bend Ct. when more than a foot of water poured in. Owner Marsia Miller said the house has been in the family since 1998. She said it flooded once before in 2021, but this is the worst they've seen it.

Marsia said they are not covered by flood insurance, and they're not in a floodplain. She called this a very difficult situation, and they're not sure what steps they should take.

Unique, affordable housing opening soon for youth aging out of foster care

Journalism is at its best when we can shine a light on an issue that needs more attention. Once again, Hannah McDonald does this beautifully by highlighting the hardships of teens aging out of the foster care system. I learned something new in her reporting and am inspired by the work I AM NEXT is doing to make a difference. I think you will be too!
