Wizard's right, I AM lucky to live on the same block as Aftercare. Let me add my commendations to James Walker and Aftercare, Inc! I live between 4 houses owned by Aftercare, Inc. For those that think half-way houses ruin neighborhoods, you should INVITE this program in! In 5 years of living here, I have never had one problem or one concern about them.
I know from historical research and my own experience that this program has improved the neighborhood. I know that they keep watch and keep the dealers out. It's a very good program!
