A Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., military family is living at a campground after the post housing company evicted them from their home on post Sunday.

Sgt. Isaac Gardner and his wife, Nicole, along with their three children, said they had no place else to go.

“We are in a trailer,” Nicole Gardner said today. She said friends have pitched in money to pay for their stay at the campgrounds for several days. Prior to friends helping the family, Gardner had thought they would have to live out of their car.

Lewis-McChord Communities, owned by Equity Residential, runs the privatized on-post housing and originally gave them a 60-day notice to move out of their house. The 60-day notice was rescinded 11 days before the final out date.
