The incident ignited a firestorm of anger among the residents who are upset that they did not know management allowed transitional placement of mentally ill patients as tenants.
Project Transition issued a statement saying they can't comment on the fire because it's under investigation, but they're committed in ensuring their members live in an environment free of the prejudice and discrimination they frequently experience.
Some clients expressed concern that one client's decision may cost them all.
Still, some residents are concerned that the psychiatric patients have no supervision once Project Transition staff goes home in the evening.
Residents have officially formed a tenant association and have agreed to meet with Project Transition and apartment complex manager very soon.
