We are grateful for how you draw us in to the daily life of a building that, due to stigma, is sometimes hard to see as a real place where human beings live. Grateful for all who are working to make it a better place.

I've met all three. a couple times. I am just amazed by how positive they are in the face of so much adversity. I've been there as residents have stormed the office demanding some unreasonable things and the staff handled the situation with such patience and grace, that it reaffirmed my faith that that God puts us where our gifts are most needed.

Please Stop this Nonsense Parking Lot Pulpit pimping! You are Not the Voice of the residents and you don't live here! You set up a table in front of the front door and are no different than the table selling cigarettes and tshirts. Everyone is exploiting the residents here. We have a class action lawsuit that several people are involved in, Security is openly selling drugs. Daniel has his entire family from Africa illegally living in his SRO Hotel room meant for 1 person. Leslie is extremely racist and so is Paula. They curse people out whenever there's an issue. No one is supposed to have pets here yet there's over 50+ dangerous pitbulls ,Rottweilers and Huskies. The dogs and Sex offenders and Drug dealers run this place. Daniel doesn't even come to work , he's at home on the 4th floor in his apartment with his 2nd wife and small kids. Daniel owns the cleaning company and is responsible for paying the bills here, why isn't the building cleaned regularly? Why's the elevator broken? Why is dog feces everywhere?

Why don't you go to your church ? Daniel Flowers the manager had church in the Kitchen dining areas and locked us out because his church took it over . Now you can't be playing both sides. Yes SRO Housing staff is the problem. The 2 prior managers had the place safe, clean and running smoothly. Daniel Flowers is a crook from Africa, Leslie is a recovering addict with 0 leasing or real estate experience and Paula is only familiar with Skid Row Housing.

Our Building was supposed to be 30% low income and the rest normal with a cafe and gym. All of those things were in the works..... until Ghetto Fraudulent SRO took over. The crack heads and fentanyl users are back and now hanging outside of Cecil.
