Name: Manley M Collins

Social Security Number: 5 7 9 – * * – 6 5 4 1

TOPIC: Happy New Year 2021 in Massachusetts

I am celebrating my first new year in Massachusetts during the second-third wave of the coronavirus/Covid-19 pandemic in the United States of America. I am still single bachelor.  I am working for Federal Express and staying at BPHC Southampton Street Shelter.  I applied for my first apartment or shared room in Boston for six months.  The shared room was a corner room close to the roof approximately 200 square feet.  Only one person was in the whole house of eight (8) to nine (9) rooms.  The house was cleared out because of the pandemic.  The real estate agent was an Asian female young adult with child who was trying to get the rooms rented.  I found her through craigslist and other sources of apartment hunting.  It was for the period February 1, 2021 to August 31, 2021.  The security deposit was $550.00 done by Zelle...and rent was $500 per month. I had Federal Express income, and UberEats and DoorDash income. I gave her my spiel that my credit was sub-par, but I had the income to support the rent and I never miss a rental payment.  She ran the credit check and denied me the room. She told me she was refunding the deposit.  I told her the same way I sent it...she can send it back.  My storage unit was with CubeSmart.  I tried Roomster subscription service through the Apple store.

       b.  Evidence of entire shelter restriction video – Exhibit A.

9. Description of the activity from second shelter restriction date on Sunday, January 3, 2021.

a.  On Sunday, January 3, 2021, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, County of Suffolk, and City of Boston tried to invoke a rule stating, “Unlabeled or non-readable labels on prescribed medicine cannot be allowed in the building.”  Please note at 112 Southampton employees enforced the rule on January 3, 2021 at the time of Plaintiff entry approximately around 11:00 pm to 12:30 am.  Plaintiff has the full video on my smartphone and saved it into the cloud and many other places.  This is 112 Southampton second time keeping Plaintiff out of the shelter and sending me into the below freezing temperatures outside.  As a new resident of Boston and with the pandemic, Plaintiff already went to all the open shelters, which stated no new residents could come in.  Other shelters completely offer no services or totally closed.  Since this is Plaintiff's first situation encountering this rule, Plaintiff offered 112 Southampton St employees to verify the medicine via Google and told them all the businesses and government agencies involved in providing the medications for my conditions.  The choices 112 Southampton St employees gave while pleading total ignorance abyss were as follows 

1. Go to hospital to get it relabeled.

2. Go to clinic to get it relabeled.

3. Leave it outside for the current drug addicts currently using drugs inside and outside shelter.

4. Cannot come in with the medication.

It is BPHC’s attempt to avert from any individual on pressing charges on dumping perfectly legal medication.  Plaintiff chose option number 4 because the medication is prescribed for me by reality of Plaintiff's life mental health issues.  Thus, the consequence for the second time by 112 Southampton Street employees leading me to hypothermia and shock, Plaintiff had to keep himself awake all night to ensure Plaintiff make it to a warm location the next morning.
