Unfortunately for almost half the year it’s better they put the homeless is jail if shelters aren’t an option… look at the increase in petty crimes by homeless during cold months so they can stay warm

I was able to "buy out" of mine once I was halfway thru my contract. I had signed up for a 3 yr. Idk how I was lucky enough to get it done

I’m surprised anyone can afford to live by themselves

They finally found a way to make money of homeless people. What they will gain is unknown but atleast they can say they took advantage of unfortunate individuals.

My parents live in Willard and use Republic services they haven't picked up trash in over 2 weeks. I used them in town last year and they raised prices 3 or 4 times. Switched to Pendergrass.

The refuse business seems to be a revolving door. New companies establish clientele and then are bought out by larger companies that hike rates and don't give af. Rinse and repeat..

Oh you can still suffer. You just can’t been seen suffering. We don’t care about that. /s

No this fits American Christianity to a T.

That should fix homelessness & poverty fine em & lock em up! lmao disgusting

They apparently only have one person able to cancel contracts for the entire network (I'm sure they keep it that way for a reason)

10-20 is two to three weeks. Most people experience homelessness for far longer than this.

Most of the problems with Burrell is if you work for them (trust me on that...). But they are a very great organization in their client-facing side.

There is a huge anti-Burrell circle-jerk on this sub, and any time I've engaged with the people making complaints, they've immediately shut down when I ask questions about the absurd things they claim (I think most of those have been teenagers).

The biggest valid complaints against Burrell is how long it takes to get into services at this point, the scheduling department is incompetent and just plain don't seem to complete any intra-agency referrals I complete, and they might screw up one of your appointments occasionally, and I honestly would stay away from the satellite locations because I've historically seen consistent incompetence at those locations.

The worst things I can say about Burrell is the financial mismanagement that has put us in a tough stop after we merged with Preferred Family under the conglomerate of Britli. Authentic leadership was sidelined or let go, our tuition assistance programs all canned, department's were merged/dissolved, and billing is pressed at the expense of employee mental/physical health and well-being.

But so rarely do I see mistreatment, abandonment, or other ridiculous claims I see on this sub. You have to also consider that many complaints are not necessarily grounded in reality given the population we work with. A huge portion of my caseload struggles with paranoid delusions from time to time, and my pastey white ass has been accused of being a middle eastern terrorist before...

The absolute vast majority of client-facing/clinical staff at Burrell genuinely care about the people we serve, and that's why we work where we do. We genuinely care and want to help. It's our leadership who seem to have no empathy for their work force. But even though I genuinely believe their motives are profits, selfishly they would not want our consumers to be mistreated and lose more income.

Take the complaints you read on this sub with a bowl full of salt. Burrell is far from perfect, but we have a lot of incredible providers that absolutely recommend, despite my resentment against our leadership.

Edit: Also just want to say, last time I waited in the Transitions waiting room with a client, two different people struck up conversation with me about how the (slightly newerish) Rapid Access Center saved their lives. One was an older gentleman who kicked an opioid addiction spanning many years, and the other who was addicted to meth said "my two little babies at home almost lost their mom a few times."

The vast majority of client-facing employees at Burrell absolutely do not fit the description the users here depict, and Burrell does tremendous good for our most disadvantaged population. It's far from perfect and I'm sure people have had bad experiences, but it should not dissuade you from seeking services. This is all said by a very bitter, overworked Burrell employee.

Have you been seeing them long? My wife has been going there for about a year now, and while she’s currently happy with the NP she sees, the guy who actually has to prescribe the meds—Dr. Bains, who also owns the place—is routinely late. This last time he was an entire week late. As you might imagine, this is not ideal when you take a medication the sudden cessation of which could put you into withdrawal.

Unfortunately, there is simply no better option for her insurance. Cox just has shit providers.

Really hope this is a fuckin joke like seriously?!?

Haven't seen them at my house since 12/23. However, they never fail to empty the same dumpster twice a day at the office - a dumpster that would take at least 7 days to fill up. Absolutely no need for it to be emptied twice a day.

Here's a thread I posted the other day about it.

I believe this allows camping for up to fifteen of every thirty days.

Mostly younger crowd, but cool concept

Eh. The Odyssey does mostly EDM shows, and the Outland is now Hour House which does Drag. However they lost their liquor license so they haven’t been doing SHIT.

Eden village?

Can confirm. They’re playing a show at Lindbergs on 1/21

Yes I have. In a court settlement. I moved an hour away from Springfield and sent them my new address, utility payments in my name and proof of purchase of the home, like they asked. When I thought the contract was canceled, because they told me it was. Obviously I stopped paying. Then I got hand delivered a letter from the sheriffs deputy being served! lol it was ridiculous honestly. They are for sure scammers working for commission there. Honestly, good luck.

We like 2 Chicks and a headshop in Ozark, they are right next to the dispensary rt 66
