Mirasol Homeowner Claims Belongings Being Held Hostage
SAN ANTONIO -- Jennifer Dodd reports: Carol Saragosa was excited last month when her family could finally go home after being displaced for months.

Saragosa's home was among many in the Mirasol Homes Project that were in dire need of repairs.

But when Saragosa finally moved back in, she had a hard time getting her belongings.

"I came home with just the clothes on my back," she said.

After making two phone calls, Saragosa finally found out what happened to her furniture and other items.

Saragosa said that homebuilder KB Home apparently was holding her items in storage and wouldn't release them until she signed an agreement saying she was satisfied with the work.

But Saragosa balked at signing the paperwork, saying she wasn't pleased with the repairs.

A KB Home spokesperson said that the company was waiting on the San Antonio Housing Project, which operates the community, to give the go ahead to release the items.

Gordon Hartman, chairman of the Mirasol Task Force, which is overseeing the problems associated with the housing project, said that SAHA stored items for all of the families except for two, including the Saragosas.

It was not clear if and when Saragosa would get her items back.

In the meantime, she and her son are having to sleep on mattresses on the floor, has no working stove and is having to use ice chests as a refrigerator.

"We have to buy bags of ice on a daily basis just to keep items cold," she said.
