I stayed at the emergency shelter and was put out ...

I stayed at the emergency shelter and was put out with no place to go with a 13 and 2 year old girls on my exact exit date. It doesnt matter that i did my chores and other people chores, attended classes, case management, looked for housing, or that my 13 year old was depressed and even told others she was suicidal. When our exit date came we were refused an extension. Then i was later told by someone that didnt fully participate in what they say was "required" there that he was given a 7 day extension. The director who runs this place is very selective on who she gives an extension to and i dont think its anything i couldve done extra she just didnt like me. If she made her decisions on what people do in the program and not her personal feelings about them i dont think i wouldve been put out like that. They didnt care about how staying at a train station with a 13 year old would affect her. They just flat out didnt care. My case manager never mentioned anything about why i didnt get an extension to me. She ultimately didnt care.she was all about and had a i dont make the rules attitude. My case manager say they make trauma informed decisions there but i highly doubt if that was considered when my extension was denied. Those people are heartless and not completely truthful when it all is said and done.

we only had a 2 week wait because of background checks to find out if we got into the transitional housing program.my case manager said i would have to already have a yes to get an extension.the same person i discussed above that got a 7 day extension i talked to again.he told me he was allowed to stay at crc shelter until his name came up to the top of the list at a transitional housing program.he was given more than a month extension.he had 1 child age 3 i had a teen with mental health issues that the staff was aware of.we had to sleep at the train station on concrete benches that night because we had no where to go.the staff knew that.shelters are not exempt from federal fair housing laws.i didnt receive equal housing opprtunity from crc shelter staff.
