Overcrowded Human Warehouses

Tuesday, September 8, 2009 - KUSI's Michael Turko has new information tonight about a group that rents furnished rooms to people with substance abuse problems. The group is called "Home of Hope". But some former tenants tell Turko the whole thing is a money-making operation.

You can make a lot of money running sober living homes, and critics say that's what these cases are really all about. They say the situation I exposed last week was only a quick glimpse of a much bigger problem. It happens when sobriety becomes a business opportunity, and people who need help are stuck in overcrowded human warehouses!
