My son was evicted due to a mental health PTSD issue, incontinence and sleep disturbance. He was ridiculed, mocked, disrespected by the House and given 16 hours to vacate. He was homeless, sober, had been compliant and never even given an opportunity to redeem himself. High turnaround in this House with the exception of the 3 senior residents who are entitled to special privileges. The rest are afraid of being evicted so this is a fear driven democracy. The democracy of this particular house consists if you are accepted. The officers are a great example of Alcoholics/addicts with no program, thus self will run riot comes to mind. High turnaround in the 5 months my son was there. I made a call to landlord which I am sure will result in nothing. I would not want someone with mental health issues, SUD to be treated as my son was. I am so sorry because the concept of Oxford House sounds great but in reality, these are recovering addicts who make up their own rules as they go along.
