ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT –
April 29, 2025 – “It’s heartbreaking. It’s heartbreaking to hear the clients talk to their facilitator or me and say, what are we going to do? We don’t have any place to go, and they’re still sober, but you can see in their eyes that it’s really, they’re really struggling,” said “Mary,” another former employee who wants to remain anonymous.
Both Barbara and Mary worked as behavioral health technicians and weren’t paid until recently.
“We weren’t being paid as employees, but they weren’t paying for these houses that these clients were staying in either. So as soon as they got their eviction notice or their five days’ pay or quit or whatever, they’d find another place to house them, and then we’d go move the clients.”
