A middle school custodian was suspended and later resigned after secretly living above the school auditorium for six months. He furnished the space with beds, furniture, and a mini-fridge, and had his four children stay with him on weekends because he had nowhere else to go.

The hs I attended put a mobile home on campus for the janitor. Why not let him live there, he’s not destroying the place.

A hospital I worked for allowed one of our maintenance supervisors to stay in a hospital room of an abandoned wing. Turned out having a maintenance man on site 24/7 was both compassionate AND saved a ton of money as he was present for some issues that would have cost a boatload (water leaks, electrical failures, etc.).

Same! There was an old grounds keeping building he lived in.

There is a liability issue, especially with 4 children staying there on the weekends in that small room. I don't think they should have fired him but obviously that situation could not continue.
