Questions from Senator Longwitz

4/13/15

1) Please pr ovide a copy of any application or lease or other document that specifically relatesto the OH houses located at 2230 Nor thside Dr ive and Forrest Park houses; (Oxford House)

2) In yesterday’s meeting, I believe there was reference to periodic reports provided to DMH byOH. Please provide a copy of any such reports, including any reports that would provide

information on occupancy, vacancies, relapses, evictions, criminal records, complaints byneighbor s, etc.;

DMH receives monthly reports. Attached are reports from July 1, 2014 to present.

3) Please provide information relating to the total amount of money the DMH has provided to

OH, thr ough gr ants or otherwise;

See attached grant amount information.

4) Please provide information relating to any OH requirements, guidelines or suggestions with

respect to proper house selection, such as number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, squarefootage (total and per resident), pr oximity to public tr anspor tation, availability of park ing, etc.);

(Oxford House)

5) Please pr ovide a copy of any current f eder al or state regulations, r ules or guidelines that

relate to DMH’s use of the gr ant money for sober living homes;

See attached information for the CABHI grant and the Block grant.

6) What are the resident--!specific requirements for receipt of the DMH funds? For example, must

the residents be recovering addicts, can they be using drugs or alcohol, must they run the house

democratically, must they evict any resident believed to be using drugs or alcohol, must they beemployed, how regularly must they attend AA or NA (or something similar), must they run the

house in a financially self --!sufficient manner, must they pay their bills in a timely manner, etc.

Currently, DMH provides grants to Oxford House made available by the Substance Abuse

and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). In 2013, DMH chose to fundOxford House because it was the only evidence-based sober living home model on

SAMHSA’s National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices. The OxfordHouse Model is a confederation of chartered community-based, self-supported rental

homes that are operated under the umbrella of Oxford House World Services. Each houseis self-governed and has at least six same-sex residents, who have a shared responsibility

for adherence to Oxford House traditions, on-time payment of household expenses,completion of chores, and successful integration into the community neighborhood.

Oxford Houses do not employ professional treatment staff, but residents are free to decidewhether to seek psychological or substance abuse treatment by professionals or participate

in 12-step self-help organizations (e.g., Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous)while receiving social support and guidance from fellow residents. Adults who want to live


54/97

in an Oxford House must complete an application for admission, be interviewed by currentOxford House residents, and be voted in by the residents. Each new resident receives a booklet of rules, and current residents spend considerable time helping new residents learn

the house's system of operation. The Oxford House Model has no maximum length-of-stayrestriction, and on average, a resident stays in an Oxford House for a little more than a

year. No resident is ever asked to leave an Oxford House without cause. In cases wheneviction is a possibility, all residents meet to discuss the potential cause, which can include

renewed substance use or disruptive behavior (e.g., failure to pay rent, failure to completehouse chores); a dismissal vote is grounds for immediate eviction of a resident. Residents

elect house officers, which include a president, treasurer, secretary, comptroller, andhousehold chore coordinator, for a term of no greater than 6 months, giving all residents

the opportunity to assume leadership positions in house governance. Recoveringindividuals who want to establish a new Oxford House must apply to Oxford House World

Services for a charter, which is granted free of charge. Individuals interested in becomingan Oxford House resident can use the program Web site to locate vacancies and access the

application.

7) What efforts are made by DMH to ensure that the residents of OH are compliant with any

resident--!specific requirements for receipt of DMH funds? For example, what efforts are made to

ensure that they are not using drugs or alcohol, employed, paying their bills in a timely manner,running the home in a democratically, attending AA or NA meetings, running the house in a

financially self-sufficient manner;

Oxford House is the only evidence-based sober living home model on SAMHSA’s NationalRegistry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices. DMH has regular communication with

the Outreach Workers whose responsibility is to ensure the Oxford House is beingmonitored to fidelity since it is an evidence-based model. DMH also receives monthly

reports and does on-site inspections and resident checks when a grievance or complaint isfiled with DMH’s Office of Consumer Supports.

8) In yesterday’s meeting, we were advised that DMH can only provide funds to homes that are

following an evidenced based sober living model. Please provide a copy of the evidence basedresearch upon which OH and/or the DMH relies;

DMH funds Oxford House because it was the only evidence-based sober living home modelon SAMHSA’s National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices.

http://nrepp.samhsa.gov/ViewIntervention.aspx?id=223

9) Please pr ovide a copy of any contract or lease between OH or any OH affiliate, such as Anna

and Neal Ste phens; (Oxford House)

10) In whose name are the utilities (water, electric, gas) for the OH homes on Northside and

Forrest Park; (Oxford House)

11) When did OH begin work ing with Anna and Neal Ste phens, and what were the

circumstances surr ounding OH’s decision to work with them; (Oxford House)


55/97

12) How much are the Stephens’s receiving in rent from for the OH homes at 2230 Northsideand Forrest Park; (Oxford House)

13) Who is paying the Stephens’s the rent at these homes? OH, or the residents of the houses;

(Oxford House)

14) Has OH guaranteed rental payments to the Stephens’s for these OH homes; (Oxford House)

15) What is the nature of the business relationship between OH and the Stephens; (Oxford House)

16) Does OH have a single business relationship with the Stephens that covers their multiple

homes in Jackson? If so, how many homes does it cover?; (Oxford House)

17) Please provide a copy of any contract between the DMH and OH, or any OH affiliate;

See attached contract for the purchase of mental health services that is signed by service providers receiving grants.

18) Are there any required affirmations applicable to OH in light of their dealings with the State

of Mississippi. For example, an affirmation that OH will comply with the ADA, state and

federal laws, E--!Ver if y, etc.;

See attached contract.

19) In yesterday’s meeting, we were advised that OH has been approved by a federal agency forreceipt of these funds for sober living homes. Are there other entities or programs that have been

approved for sober living homes? If so, could you please identify them? And, do any of theseother approved entities operate in Mississippi?

Based on SAMHSA’s National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices, there

are no other evidence-based sober living home models operating in Mississippi.

20) What entities other than OH have applied for funds from the DMH for the operation of a

sober living home? If there have been any, what was the name of the entity and was therequest granted or denied? If the request was denied, what was the basis of the denial;

To the best of our knowledge, no other entities have applied for funds from DMH for

the operation of a sober living home.

21) It is our understanding that the DMH’s contracts and business relationship is with Oxford

House, Inc. as opposed to any local OH affiliate or home owner, such as the Stephens. Is thataccurate?;

Yes, that is accurate.


56/97

22) Under OH’s contract and arrangement with DMH, what rights does OH have to subcontract

any services to OH affiliates and/or home owners who rent homes to OH such as the Stephens;

See attached contract.

23) Are the residents of the OH houses located in Mississippi coming from out of state, or arethey Mississippi residents?

All outreach efforts are conducted in Mississippi; however, this does not preclude people from other states. Outreach Workers conduct presentations only in Mississippi.

24) Please provide any information related to the criminal history, if any, of the residents of OHhouses located in Mississippi; and (Oxford House)

25) Does the DMH have any contractual relationship with Anna or Neal Stephens or otherowners of houses that are being rented to OH for sober living homes?

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

JOHN T. COPENHAVER, District Judge.

*1 Pending are the motions by defendant Oxford House, Inc.

(“Oxford House”), for summary judgment, filed February 22,

2011, and to strike Exhibits A through E attached to plaintiffs'

summary judgment response, filed March 16, 2011.

Respecting the motion to strike, Oxford House asserts that the

referenced exhibits are inadmissible for a number of reasons.

Inasmuch as the court does not expect to rely upon the

challenged documents in adjudicating the dispositive motion,

it is ORDERED that the motion to strike be, and it hereby is,

denied as moot.

I.

Plaintiffs Candina Daniels, Corsia Ramey, and Kimberly

Skeens are West Virginia residents. Defendant Antonio

Russell's citizenship appears to be unknown at this time. It

does not appear that he has been served with process. Oxford

House is a Delaware corporation with its principal place of

business in Maryland.

The Oxford House concept appears to be a novel one. It

is explained in the affidavit of Kathleen Gibson, its Chief

Operating Officer:

Oxford House, Inc. is a ... not for profit corporation....

Oxford House is a network of approximately 1400 houses

nationwide that provides housing for recovering alcoholics

and drug addicts.... Each Oxford House is democratically

run, financially self-supporting, and expels any resident

who resumes the use of drugs and alcohol while residing

in an Oxford House.... Oxford Houses are not residential

treatment facilities and there is no staff residing at an

Oxford House or in charge of operating an Oxford House....Each Oxford House is self-run, meaning that the residents

are in charge of running the house and making all the

decisions pertaining to each Oxford House on a democratic

basis....

Oxford House employs persons to open and establish

Oxford Houses in various states. It hires residents or former

residents of Oxford Houses. The prospective employee

must have been a resident of an Oxford House and must

have lived in an Oxford House without incident. This

means that the individual must not have been asked to

leave an Oxford House because of resumed alcohol or drug

use, or failure to pay rent, or for engaging in disruptive

behavior.

(Aff. of Kathleen Gibson ¶¶ 2–3).

In 2005, Russell was hired by Oxford House as an outreach

worker in North Carolina. Kathleen Gibson was the Oxford

2011 WL 1675020


Russell filled a vacancy created after Ms. Gibson terminated

an outreach worker for having a relationship with a female

Oxford House resident. Ms. Gibson asked Russell if he had

ever had an inappropriate relationship with a female either

before or after he was himself an Oxford House resident. He

assured her to the contrary. Ms. Gibson hired him based upon:

an outstanding record of beingactive with the Winston–Salem, North

Carolina chapter of Oxford Houses as

well as his activity in assisting Oxford

House on a state level. He also had

excellent credentials as a result of his

work on a special project for the North

Carolina Department of Vocational

Rehabilitation.

*2 ( Id. ¶ 4). She did not conduct a criminal background

investigation on Russell.

In 2007, Oxford House was awarded a contract by West

Virginia to seed its homes in the state. Russell was reassigned

to that task, with primary responsibility to open houses in the

Charleston, Huntington, and Parkersburg areas. He achieved

some success. For example, in June 2007 he opened an

Oxford House located in Dunbar (“Oxford House Dunbar”).

Oxford House Dunbar was restricted to female residents only.

Daniels, a parolee at the time, resided at Oxford House

Dunbar for six days in July 2008. Skeens stayed there from

April to May 2008. She was asked to leave after she wrote an

unauthorized check from the house account. Ramey arrived in

January 2008 and left the next month. Oxford House asserts

that she was “continually behind in her rent, and left the house

without notice, and with her rent in arrears.”( Id. ¶ 16).

Oxford House maintains a “a strict written policy against

sexual harassment and sexual misconduct among its

employees.”( Id. ¶ 9). Ms. Gibson recounts one provision of

the policy providing, inter alia, as follows: “The practice of

[employee] involvement with members of Oxford Houses for

sexual contact is discouraged especially where Oxford House

members possess less than one year of sobriety.”( Id.)

While the meeting minutes of Oxford House Dunbar

reflect no contemporaneous complaints by Daniels, Skeens,

or Ramey about Russell, plaintiffs now allege disturbing

versions of abuse and harassment inflicted upon them by him

during their respective stays. Daniels' account is as follows:

Russell sexually abused and sexually harassed females

while they were housed at the Dunbar House. During the

latter part of July, 2008, Defendant Russell, upon meeting

me for the first time at the Men's Center, he immediately

gave me a hug, kissed my check and told me I was cute.

Later this day, Defendant Russell telephoned the Oxford

House and started talking to me in a sexual manner. Thesecond incident happened in my bedroom. He had called

early to see if anyone was home.

Defendant Russell came in, sat on my bed and began

fondling me and uttering sexually, vulgar words to me.

Defendant Russell then asked me when we were going to

“hook up” in a sexual manner. The last incident occurred

when I was in the shower when I heard someone call my

name out as I pulled the curtain back I saw Russell standing

in the bathroom, holding his erect penis in his hand, talking

to me in an inappropriate sexual manner. I left the Oxford

House that night.

(Pls.' Ex. G. at 3). She adds that “The sexual harassment and

sexual abuse ... made me fearful to stay at the Oxford House. I

chose to leave to escape ... Russell's abuse.”( Id. at 7). She also

states in her affidavit the effects she experienced as a result

of Russell's actions: “Since the sexually [sic] harassment and

sexual abuse ..., I experience anxiety, insomnia, depression,

troubles with relationships and a fear of men.”(Aff. of

Candina Daniels ¶ 3).

*3 Ms. Ramey offers a similar version of events respecting

Russell's actions:

Russell sexually abused and sexually harassed females

while they were housed at the Dunbar House. He didn't

telephone me at ... [Oxford] House. Russell sexual[ly]

harassed me while I was alone in the house. Russell

followed me down to the laundry room and grabbed my

buttocks and pushed me against the washer and said “you

have a nice ass.” I could feel his erect penis against my

back. In the downstairs bedroom where I was staying, I had

locked the door to take a shower. Russell had somehowentered my bedroom and came into the bathroom where

I was showering. As I looked out of the shower to see

what was making the noise in my room, Russell was

walking towards me with his penis erect masturbating

and making sexual comments and sexual advancements. I

screamed and he ran out of the room. On another occasion,

Russell entered my room when I was lying on my bed.

He approached me making sexual remarks and fondled my

body.

....

He also requested me and another girl to have sex with him.

( Id. at 12, 14). Ms. Ramey at first was afraid to reportthe incident but later informed her parole officer, Justin

Gibson. Ms. Ramey also noted how Russell's actions have

affected her: “Since the sexually [sic] harassment and

sexual abuse of Defendant Russell, I experience anxiety and

depression.”(Aff. of Corsia Ramey ¶ 3).

Ms. Skeens' account is similar. She accuses Russell as

follows:

Antonio Russell sexually abused and sexually harassed

females while they were housed at the ... [Oxford] House.

Our first meeting was when Russell was transporting me

to the Dunbar House. On the drive he continuously rubbed

my leg and asked me for a date. He asked me out on a date

on several different occasions. Russell fondled my body on

more than once and tried to kiss me. One incident occurred

in the kitchen of the Dunbar House as I was preparing food.

Russell pushed me into the food pantry and began groping

and kissing me. He would often do this in front on [sic]
