Lifelinx Corporation

I think the people of Guilford should know that this agency, LifeLinx, has applied for grants and received grants of several thousand dollars on a yearly basis from the Guilford Community Fund. I’ve been informed that the grant applications reports the grant money would be used for a transportation service and a scattered site apartment program. LifeLinx has no transportation program or a scattered site program. Getting grants under false pretenses is charity fraud. They claim online to be a credible organization but there are no house meetings or drug testing, adequate monitoring and supervision. Instead there is negligence I’ve supplied them with drug testing kits that go unused. Residents aren’t even required to attend 12 step meetings, they’re told it’s optional. To make matters worse, in 2023 alone , these so-called sober houses had over 50 emergency calls to police and ambulances, including a fatal overdose of a 37 year old lifelong resident of Branford who was deceased for two days before he was found. I’ve seen residents at the Guilford house catch the bus that stops by there to get into New Haven to score drugs. I’ve been told by other residents that dealers have bought drugs to the house for one of the residents on a regular basis. Another elderly gentleman died in the Guilford house the following year., 2024. People there have been charged full price to be housed in the attic and even on a couch in a common area. I’ve witnessed alcohol, crack and opiate use and prostitutes at the houses directly. They are infested with mice and insects. Ive been threatened, and stolen from despite making generous donations, and tended to people intoxicated get medical attention to prevent overdose. There was no narcan there until I was able to get some from the health department. I’ve made complaints to the board president whose response was that she was no longer involved. All other complaints go ignored. Somehow this nonprofit still manages to keep its tax free 501c3 status to run “sober” houses that contribute nothing , and cause trouble for their respective communities. Further investigation is warranted at the state and local level and when confirmed, restitution should be made to the Guilford Community Fund and no organization operating under such circumstances should continue to have non profit, tax exempt status, at least let the public decide.

The home is provided for those who are looking for sober living..I would like to thank Wayne for all his kindness and caring support towards us all. Enclosed photos of my experience..

This place is nothing but a drug den. The owner takes responsibility for nothing. Including deaths of renters of this crack house. As my brother in law had recently over dosed and passed away after not being found for 2 days until the “house manager” finally knocked on the door and realized it was locked from the locks on the door from the inside. Are locks on the inside appropriate to have at a house for recovering addicts? No. Sounds super supportive that they didn’t check on him for 2 days. When this happened my boyfriend contacted the owner Wayne and he said he couldn’t come there. 3 days later he texted my boyfriend and said if there was anything he could do to just let him Know. My bf said yes give me 5 minutes of your time to talk and he ignored him. My bf then asked for the deposit he put down for his brother in the beginning and Wayne proceeded to say he would look into it. There is no support at that house. They do drugs together. Cops are there constantly. 0 support. It needs to be shut down.
