Anna gets it both ways: Out front with SSI proceeds of her tenants; from the other side by Tax salaried OH recruiters keeping her houses full. So our Federal tax dollars keep Anna's invasion of NEJ going and going thanks to The MS Department of Mental Heallth (MDMH). MDMH is responsible for this mess. I blame MDMH which needs to stop applying for the grants.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-31376827888186812412015-04-22T19:50:02.410-05:002015-04-22T19:50:02.410-05:006:30

The tenants are supplied for Anna by OH recruiters. She only has to cash her rent checks, and provides no oversight. <br /> <br />I'd rather live, as before, by owner occupied dwellings, not near a known boarding house which violates my R1 expectations and values. The house near me is a 1800 s.ft. residence which was designed for a family, not 7 unrelated, transient men crowded into 3 bedrooms, 2 baths; and 5 or 6 of whom by OH stats say I can expect to have criminal records. <br /><br />Anna Fiser Stephens and OH gave no notice of this change to any of us as neighbors. Our lawful expectations in the peaceful enjoyment of our homes have been willfully violated.

First, residents do pay $100.00 per week, which covers all bills, and usually paper towels, laundry soap, etc. You are only responsible for food, however, other than paying a small amount of dues to Oxford, the remaining funds are used however the house deems necessary. If the house wants a new TV, or steak dinner, etc., it comes to a house vote and $$ is spent accordingly. It is THEIR money to do as they wish. Secondly, addicts are everywhere. They are already your next door neighbors. Would you rather be living next to a tweeker with aluminum foil covering all windows, or live next to an addict in recovery, that's staying clean, being responsible, and living a life of recovery? There is always the exception but for the most part, these are good people trying to better themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-60622569705106373962015-04-21T11:20:38.162-05:002015-04-21T11:20:38.162-05:0010:25am, please provide your email address or reac...10:25am, please provide your email address or reach out to one of the main contacts associated with the neighborhood.

In addition, the OH members have every incentive to crowd the house to maximize the house's income in a R1 residence not design for 7 grown men sharing 3bedrooms and two baths. Can you imagine how the bathrooms smell from these men? The R1 values the neighbors all bought into by their covenants and R1 designation are upended. There was no attempt to introduce the concept to the neighbors, just stealth by Anna Fiser Stephens. When is she going to be held accountable by JA or others for her actions that are beyond inconsiderate and uncaring, but very harmful to the JA neighborhood? There are better ways to house these people that do not run over the neighbors and are zoning compliant. MDMH should never have applied for the block grants funding the recruiters for O H.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-19734448205605525832015-04-18T01:09:45.977-05:002015-04-18T01:09:45.977-05:00What danger?

The Social Security Administration does not. I doubt that the VA considers it a handicap. Recovering people need to feel that they can become a part of society when they complete the first 9 steps. They do not need to feel apart from or pitiful. Our government labeling them as handicapped does not help them take responsibility for their behavior. Free rent is the easier, softer way for many to call it recovery. Oxford Houses are boarding houses and should be considered such.
