I need your support. Please sign my petition, save this much needed community program.
Industrial Alliance STOP the bullying of Singleton Housing and take responsibility for the damage your organization has caused to a program that has helped so many living with physical and mental disabilities.
Singleton Housing, LLC and Singleton Community Service Inc, Non-Profit grassroots organization is striving to make their community a better place by creating affordable supportive housing and services for those living with physical and mental disabilities. In efforts to fill the growing demand place on their program for more housing Singleton entered into the Master Lease with Industrial Alliance, at Brookfield Terrace Apartments, in Phoenix, Arizona.
Industrial Alliance and Paul Ash Management made multiple promises to fix and repair the property to induce Singleton Housing into placing individuals there to live. They completed a quick fix (a very nice flip) which gave the appearance that all work had been completed. Unfortunately, Industrial Alliance and Paul Ash Management failed to fulfill the obligations of the contract in regards to fixing and maintaining the property. Sometime after taking possession of the property, there were many leaks ,floods,mold damage, cooling and heating systems started to fail and the building literally started to fall apart.
During the process of the minimal repairs that had been made, Singleton Housing discovered they (Industrial Alliance and Paul Ash Management) had failed to disclose problems with the building which would or could be hazardous to any occupant therein.
Despite knowing of the hazardous problems Industrial Alliance and Paul Ash Management failed to notify us or any other tenants and continue to deny that there were any existing problems and refused to completely and appropriately repair the defects of the building.
In fact, as we did later discover, Industrial Alliance and Paul Ash Management filed insurance claims and lawsuit alleging damages for the same problems they were denying existed.
Now, Industrial Alliance, a Canadian –based $106.9 billion dollar Insurance and Investment company with holdings in the United States, filed a $400,000 lawsuit against Singleton Housing for a breach of contract. The suit is without merit and has cost Singleton Housing time and monies that should have been directed toward expanding the model, rather than draining the available resources. Industrial Alliance is also liable to Singleton for maintaining the Property in - what can only be described as - deplorable and uninhabitable conditions. It's like big corporate bullying .
We want Industrial Alliance to do the right thing and pay for the damages that they caused to our program and to the tenants. This will allow us to reestablish our housing program for our most vulnerable population.
