Life and death of 422 HOPE hotline in Middletown
The 422 HOPE drug abuse hotline in Middletown faced chronic funding and governance problems from its start. Founders and directors failed to meet regularly, money shortages forced temporary phone disconnections, and the program largely collapsed when the driving organizer Corson left, with later attempts by John Anderson and Steve Blazer to rescue it failing to restore operations.
