-When I became a client with ShelterCare in Jan. 2003, I was an emotional mess. It took me a long time (about 10 years) to stabilize. That wasn't the fault of ShelterCare, that was all on me. Their program is excellent and if you let it work, it will. I had some excellent Case Managers. When a CM didn't work, I went to the powers that be and changes were made. About 10 years into the program, I knew I was ready to move on. It took a few years of searching and a couple of waiting lists before I was able to move. I continued having a CM for a few months after I moved just to make sure I could be completely on my own. I can't say enough wonderful things about ShelterCare. If you want to get better and are willing to work for it, ShelterCare is a great program. I know if I need their support in the future, all I need to do is ask. That is a comfort.
