Update

Two tenants left the complex. One to go to Fuller seminary, the others are doing global missions. We had a mtng with Elaine, Angie and David. They gave us hope and insight to what's going on behind the curtains.

We created a Facebook group for better communication with each other. Anthony is also looking for a pin board we can use to put up around the complex as a community board.

JD gave me clearance to get supplies from Home Depot for the laundry room. Going to buy a lock and some keys to distribute to tenants.

Anna Jacobsen has been without air conditioning for a week and JD servicemen have been vague as to developments. I contacted Pa, she said he will come tm morning- if not I feel it may be last straw for Anna.

Pray for our community. Mike and his gf are still fighting, Anthony was around an able to calm situation down. JD doesn't have her down on paperwork and want me to kick her out. Their relationship is unhealthy, need to find a way to connect.

CAUGHT

Caught 2 JD Home construction workers in apartment 102 with 2 prostitutes. Notified JD, they told me to email the picture of the licence i took and said they would let their supervisor know. This happened yesterday around 4:30 pm.

last week, had one of the tenants come over because he was beating his gf the night before in the courtyard. Cops came but found no markings, she protected herself on the ground pretty well. Told the tenant if it happens again he will be evicted. Gf said she was moving out but she has been around lately.

Gross.

Found out there are cockroach eggs in my coffee pot and I have been brewing them for awhile now. Yum.

Toured the place to more tenants, all christian and down for living in biblical community. Our biggest strength against the agency will be our unity. I am excited!

Finding problems

Fixing Some Problems


Waiting to hear back from JD about letting me take on more responsibilities and getting paid to fix things. Don't want to enable JD Homes, rather than having them help take on their problems as well. Almost the same situation as a drug addict that asks for spare change. Should I pay and fix things out of my own pocket, or should JD?

New Tenants!

Tom and Kendall Adlard now live in #209.

They are getting officially married soon but until then one of them is going to stay in the new digs until they get married next month. There apartment is so nice! 

Looking forward to the days to come.

Unforseen Vacancy

I am not sure but I think the people who lived in the apartment with the mold in it, are no longer living there. Not sure what happened, if JD evicted them or offered them another apartment. But their blinds are drawn closed and nobody answered the door. If I don't see any change in a few days I will just assume that they are gone.

The 15 year old, neighborhood tough, Izzy and I are starting to talk a lot more too. Which is cool. We will see where that goes...

Not much else to update on.

Attemptive Break In (into my apartment and not into my heart)

So as you can see, the purp tried to get in by busting the handle off by force. The handle on both sides has two indentations where the tool they were using was trying to break it off. I left my apartment last night and stayed at my grandma's working on editing videos there cause I can get Internet there, than during the day I was with Katie. So the incident could've happened at anytime between 10 pm Sunday night to 8:30 pm Monday (Valentines Day).

The lock on the bottom was the one I changed from a crappy, cheap, plastic one JD had put to the solid, heavy Home Depot (9 bucks) one I had purchased. Is it coincidence that this one was messed with and not the top? Because JD has a key to my top lock but not my home depot one. Is it also coincidence that they started to work on the apartment next door today too? Or was it the kid and his friends that i kicked out last night cause they were trying to play beer pong in his old apartment? Not sure. All I have is suspicion but I am going to go tomorrow to home depot to get a new one. Even though I have nothing really of too much value in my apartment, I am thankful it was a mess that got prevented.
