I am definitely happy to see this pass in our city and I hope other's follow suit. I cannot tell you how many cases we have that are self-reported, or called in by EMS, to boarding homes like this that call themselves "group homes". Some of the conditions that my workers have walked into are absolutely horrid. Our elderly are being taken advantage of in a lot of these cases often using their entire social security check to pay for a room in a three bedroom house that has four or five other beds in the same room.
