Review of Turning Point Youth Services

This is the last youth shelter that I would advise...

This is the last youth shelter that I would advise homeless youth to stay at. Each room is crammed up spacewise and includes 8 youth...all in the same room. More than half the time, the whole second floor and each room smells like either dirty feet or drugs. Drug use increases here. Recently homeless youth with mental health problems have high chances of becoming addicted to crystal meth. As far as staffing goes, there is no empathetic relation from staff to youth, whereas, at many other shelters, the staff are good with empathetic and understanding skills. I would know this, as being a resident here several times.
