Community Access

If I can give this place –1 billion I would. How does a non-​profit organization house people with mental disabilities in the same environment with active drug users and former criminals. Well CA does. There are tenants who live in the building who may have psychological issues but take care of themselves and work either part-​time or full time jobs and keep their apartments clean. And these tenants are for the most part quiet.
Then there is the freaking horror show of formerly incarcerated or ACTIVE DRUG USER residing in the building, many are loud as HELL. PLAY LOUD MUSIC TILL THE WAKING HOURS OF THE MORNING, DEAL DRUGS INSIDE THE BUILDING OR HAVE THEIR DRUGGIE FRIENDS BRING THEM INSIDE THE BUILDING. Some buy them from drug dealers up the block. Mind you this building is across the street from an elementary school and were told that initially before they moved in. The management has pretty much ignored complaints for the last couple of years until a tenant died from an overdose. Now all of sudden the junkies are «supposedly» being warned that they will be evicted and the management stated that there will be action to remove the dangerous offenders; we will see.
I even heard about a junkie trying to sublet his studio (even though he does not pay any rent — read: government assistance). He believes he is getting over on the management company. AMAZING!!!
You simply cannot put people who are focusing on goals in their lives with people who have no intention of EVER doing better together in the same environment. IT WON’T WORK!!! ANIMALS will be ANIMALS!!!
What Community Access Needs to do is have each building separated by lifestyle, for example those who work and go to school in one building and those who are junkies and refuse to work or go to a program in another.
I think this location would do well if the apartment were rented out to more elderly and people with a focus on school and work.
THIS BUILDING IS AN EXPERIMENT THAT HAS GONE HORRIBLY WRONG AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY!!!
