HOWELL AGAINST HALFWAY HOUSE
 |  |  |
|---|
WHAT WE KNOW
BELOW IS A COMPILED LIST OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN TOLD TO DATE CONCERNING THIS PROPOSED FACILITY AT 2193 HOWELL RD
PLEASE SIGN OUR PETITION AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
THE FACILITY WILL HOUSE MEN ONLY THAT ARE NOT PERMITTED TO BE ALONE WITH THEIR CHILDREN
THIS FACILITY IS WITHIN 2 MILES OF 2 ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND NEW LIFE MINISTRIES CHURCH
THERE IS NO STATE OR FEDERAL OVERSIGHT OR REGULATION
THERE IS NO PAID STAFF ON SITE TO REGULATE WHEN THESE MEN COME AND GO
THE FACILITY IS RUN COMPLETELY ON A "VOLUNTARY BASIS"
THE FACILITY WILL HOUSE UP TO 102 MEN
THEY INTEND TO HAVE 23 HOMES ON SITE
ALL PARTICIPANTS WILL BE MEN JUST LEAVING DRUG REHABILITATION FACILITIES
VIOLENT CRIMES ARE COMMON AMONG HALFWAY HOMES AND SURROUNDING PROPERTIES
THERE IS NO STRUCTURED PLAN OR FACILITIES TO INSURE SECURITY
THESE MEN HAVE "BURNT EVERY BRIDGE" WITH ALL OTHERS ATTEMPTING TO HELP THEM
DEPENDING ON THE TURNOVER RATE WE COULD SEE MORE THAN 6,000 MEN CYCLE THROUGH THIS FACILITY IN THE NEXT 30 YEARS
THE DEVELOPER LIVES 5 MILES NORTH OF THE SITE ON 35 ACRES AND REFUSES TO RELOCATE THE FACILITY TO THEIR OWN PROPERTY
THIS PROPERTY HAS NOT BEEN PURCHASED AND IS SIMPLY UNDER CONTRACT
LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS DO NOT SUPPORT THIS PROJECT
OWNERS ARE PAID $200 PER WEEK PER OCCUPANT, NOT INCLUDING DONATIONS AND GRANTS
IT APPEARS MONEY FROM OUTSIDE LOWNDES COUNTY MAY BE SUBSIDIZING THE DEVELOPMENT
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
WE'RE LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
IF YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT CAN BE ADDED TO THIS WEBPAGE TO FURTHER SHED LIGHT ON THESE PROGRAMS, WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU. WE ARE IN SEARCH OF THE TRUTH AND OPEN TO HEAR ALL SIDES.
ARE WE AGAINST HELPING THOSE IN NEED?
ABSOLUTELY NOT. WE HAVE OFFERED TO DONATE TO THIS MINISTRY AND OFFER PRAYERS FOR ALL THOSE AFFECTED BY DRUG ABUSE. WE DEMAND REHABILITATION SERVICES BE PROVIDED RESPONSIBLY IN A BETTER LOCATION.
HALFWAY HOUSES SCATTERED IN COUNTY
IT APPEARS THAT THESE TYPE FACILITIES CAN POP UP IN ANY RESIDENCE IN LOWNDES COUNTY. YOU MAY BE LIVING NEAR ONE NOW AND NO ONE HAS TO LET YOU KNOW. THEY PREFER YOU DON'T KNOW. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU ARE AWARE OF ANY OF THESE HOUSES.
COMMISSION MEETING JUNE 16
PLEASE SUPPORT US AND SHOW UP TO THE COUNTY COMMISSION MEETING ON JUNE 16 AT 5:30PM AT 327 N ASHLEY ST IN VALDOSTA GA.
