The word from the higher ups is Daytop is in financial trouble. Intakes have thus increased and the ADU's poplation has nearly doubled. Anyone who has left (ran off) is replaced by sometimes two new residents within 24 hours. It's been this way for months now.

This hardly seems new to me.  When I worked there all that mattered was "asses in chairs" and "heads in beds."  We were over-pop'ed consistently by 50%.

If they are losing money and feeling the pinch the kids will suffer even worse.  That is a shame.

Daytop has been in financial peril for years. I can remember back in the 90's when they had all the staff scrambling to keep the beds full and had difficulty making their payroll. They used to hold out checks for days and some even had their checks bounce. Its incredible that they are still having problems but it is mostly due to the mismanagement of funds, usually by uneducated program directors with no clue as to how to manage multi million dollar budgets, and egos so sky high as to be unable to admit they need help. Funny but that's what they get on their high horse and preach to the masses to do.
Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic
for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster, and what has
happened once in 6000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to
the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail,
there will be anarchy throughout the world.

Now they don't even kick out the residents that fight, smoke, bring in marijuana, or are just not complying with the program. They treaten to kick them out but they now realize its an empty threat. Apparently substance abuse at a substance abuse treatment center means a couple of hours on the chair and a talk.

Having recently worked for Daytop, you are right, they have no concept of how to manage funds, nor do they have the most effective people in the right positions. If you are not a part of the group, they will make it hard for you. I referred to it as drinking the KoolAid.They all want to feed their ego. They do not give a damn about the children. There have been drugs, sex, and fighting. Are not these "Cardinals"? No one gets kicked out because it is about the money..period. Staff have attempted to have relationships with the juvenilles who are in the care of Daytop. They are now trying to sell off California. From what I have heard, that program is worse than the programs back here. It was like being in a cult, even as an employee. It was a very weird and troubling experience. :cry:
