A family shelter to help you get on your feet. Staff is okay, but some residents... Let's just say pick your battles wisely. Stay to yourself and things tend to run smoothly. Could be a lot cleaner if everyone cleaned up after their families! Needs a lot of repairs, but tbh the repairs are being made..... SLOWLY!
Amazing they help my kids and I in our time of need and everyone their treat each other like family including the staff
If you are homeless and have 1 or more kids you can come here 24/7
Services for the community providing goods to make living a little easier
They have mold they serve food and dont wash there hands my mom is over there at hope she said that they will kicker out for 24 business hours and she has a 4 month baby with her. That place needs to be shut down the mom's there steal formula and give it to the kids when they did not buy it.
The staff is as nutty as the nuttiest residents...
If you are a marijuana/crack/coke/molly/pill addicted lowlife, this is the place for you.
If you've been iincarcerated, or were raised by abusive parents, this environment will suit you splendidly.
If you are a person who cowers and/or sucks up to people who consider themselves better than you, you'll be adored here.
But, if you are in full posession of rapidly firing neurons, raising your children respectfully, and aren't prone to fits of neediness, this place will drive you to the brink of madness.
They serve three meals a day. Sounds good in the brochure, but wait til you set sail! Breakfast is a small bowl of cold cereal, lunch is pb&j on dry bread with a mini bag of chips, and dinner is often more recognizable as canned dog food than the beef stew they swear it is.
The meatloaf was so bloody one day, that residents were literally vomiting in the dorms a few hours later. Ditto for the meatballs.
It wouldn't be a problem if we were allowed to prepare our own meals with a crock pot or electric kettle,but, alas, these items are disallowed.
I had questions they were answered by a friendly compassionate staff member
I don't really have much to say. It was okay for what it is needed for
U must be hwless for long time to get any help in getting an apt.
Not a good shelter they treat u like trash and the people to .this place wont last you going to see what God going to do hes going to clean this shelter up. People who care should be working here not this people they take advantage of you they try to work you like a dog with these chores and the owner just do t do her job leaving this place abandoned . watch and see what God is going to do here yall will see it on the news I took them to the TV news I have photos of how this place was looking like and is still looking like that they hated me so much because I took them to the TV news
Children running wild up and down the halls. Breaking furniture. Pouring water, juice, and whatever else they want on the floor...
No kind of order. Staff ignore the chaos. Garbage EVERYWHERE. Appliances remain in disrepair... Except for a couple individuals, the staff is rude and ignorant.
When potential donators come, staff is all smiles.
It's like a reality tv show here.
Me n my family got kicked out in the cold because one of the workers was being nasty and vindictive n lied n said I sexually harrasssed her, instead of them investigating the situation they pretty much just threw me out,the WiFi is HORRIBLE,mold everywhere,the workers with the exception of maybe TWO nobody there looks at you as an individual they look at you as just another homeless person they gotta help,no kind of security,I broke up more fights then the entire staff combined yet they called me the violent one,one they label you they will have it out for you as long as you are there. BE CAREFUL cause Marie may act n look sweet but shes definitely the opposite.
Disgusted with the nerve staff has to ask for donations of furniture from my company. Decided to donate a nice brand new mattress AND covered delivery expenses since they were unable to pick up. When getting to the house the person who had supposedly been sleeping on only a boxspring already, had a decent looking mattress which she asked us to drag out to the dumpster for her. I will never again donate to this organization.
Never been inside, but met a very nice person there
Great place for a second chance good starting point especially if you are just getting out of jail on the bus route if I see Mr karney I'll tell him that this is one of the best things he will do in his life time for someone besides himself
The staff is very respectful and shows compassion for their residents
They helped me and my wife get a place through a program. They were a true Godsend.
..Hi my is Jamie I may have a interview coming up soon for this project housing for single women. I may like it I"m currently coming all the way from Nassau county.
My Breakthrough environment. My redefound independence location. A place my family and I transitioned from and I still call it home. My heart is still there.
Nice place if you don't have a roof over your head for you and your family
Terrible place very dirty filthy unorganized and lazy workers
