Group home upsets some in Fort Bend neighborhood
It's been four months since Gary Scott put his home up for sale, but he has yet to woo a buyer.
Across the street, neighbor Doug Beddingfield has been trying to sell his home for even longer, but has not had any luck.
"We can't sell our homes. We're all stuck," Scott said.
He and his neighbors live on Prade Ranch Lane in Canyon Gate at the Brazos, a gated community in an unincorporated part of central Fort Bend County between Sugar Land and Richmond.
Next door to Scott's house is a one-story brick home that is being used as a group home for mentally challenged adults. The group home, Scott and his neighbor's say, is a deterrent to potential homebuyers.
"It feels like a convenience store next to my home," said Chris Norris, referring to the frequent vehicle traffic that comes and goes as employees leave the group home and others arrive.
The group home, once a private residence, is owned by Scioto, a Dublin, Ohio-based company that buys and leases properties for disability housing.
Scioto's owner, Mary Bea Eaton, said her company bought the property in 2006 to lease it to Lufkin-based St. Giles Living Centers, a company that provides services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. St. Giles uses the house to accommodate four clients.
An unknown number of St. Giles staff members work in different shifts to care for the residents while a property coordinator also goes to check on the home each week, she said.
"Typically there is direct-care staff there 24 hours a day," she said.
She described St. Giles as a reputable company.
"We have a long and very positive relationship with St. Giles. We've never had any issue with any home related to something like this," she said.
An official with St. Giles' corporate office deferred all questions to Scioto. At St. Giles' Houston-area office at 1005 Industrial Drive in Sugar Land, manager Marcus Hill declined comment.
