Nearly 200 residents of Ocotillo Apartments and Hotel on Tucson’s south side were faced with an option Wednesday morning: pack up all their belongings and leave their only source of housing, or resist property management’s attempts to evict them.
The residents are part of what was supposed to be a sober living community at 1025 E. Benson Highway called “Happy Times.” About a month ago, the program stopped paying the hotel for the residents to live there, according to Ocotillo’s general manager.
The formerly homeless residents were left to fend for themselves, while the business was left with unsettled bills.
