A few doors down the street another low-income housing program, the Frye Apartments, offers a startling contrast to the Morrison. AHA moved its social and management services to the Frye in 1998. There are 234 units for homeless and formerly homeless single adults, couples, and families at the Frye Apartments. A staff member in a baseball cap and flannel shirt greets everyone by name at the door. The common room is bright and spacious, filled with couches.
Staff offices connect to the common area via glass doors.
Elderly and vulnerable clients are checked on frequently. According to Virginia Felton, Communications Manager for SHA, the agency is aware of the need for more services at the Morrison. She suggests that if Clausnitzer had alerted SHA, something could have been done earlier about Bishop's case. I love Eddie, and I want to help him out, but I can't baby-sit all the residents. They need case managers.
