I work in DSS for the city. The congregates vary in quality but the biggest reason people dont want to stay there is because the residents are restricted to the amounts of guests they can bring in and they have to work with social workers who usually try to get them drug rehab help. If you’re a social butterfly and dont want someone bothering you everytime you go into meth induced psychosis in the hallway then you wont want to live in a congregate supportive housing.
