Catholic charities of denver Reviews

Seek help elsewhere. This is a joke. No help for anyone.

I was hugely disappointed by my interaction with this office this week which only multiplies the reasons to distance myself from the church that I was raised in. I mentor a family that immigrated from Afghanistan 3 years ago on Special Immigrant Visas after their dedicated work in the American embassy in Kabul. We had been referred to this CC office to get some questions about citizenship for them and then try to find a path for their nephew to come here from Germany. The front desk person was less than helpful and throughout the interaction she and others assumed that this couple was Spanish....giving them spanish material and asking if the needed a spanish including the woman consulting as their attorney, Cheryl Martinez Gloria, who apparently runs the immigrant advice program. Ms. Martinez Gloria was not only condescending in her interactions with the husband and wife, she was downright disrespectful of me as someone that has been assisting this family for 3 years and incapable of understanding how there may be nuance to legal conversations with them that may be hard for this couple to understand who has a limited understanding of English. The woman who took information from the family was hostile to me and unwilling to admit that she might not have told me on the phone about a $35 cash fee....insisting that it was not her mistake but my "misunderstanding" . The entire experience represented the opposite of the servant mentality upon which the best of the catholic church is built and a slap in the face of this Muslim couple seeking help who have served our country with diligence.

Catholic Charities helped me with a public service bill years ago. It got me back on my feet the next month. I appreciated it, and even though its been a long time I still appreciate it!

I'm going to donate this month, if you can donate you should too. So many reviews here are people needing money not people who got it and are saying thank you.

I say THANK YOU!

The supervisor Mr.Luke he was non prejudice,honest, cool, and hardworking he got me everything I needed while there. The other staff members they could learn from him. Honesty takes you further and closer to god. I'm a signed celebrity model that volunteered here part time and Mr.luke made my time there worthwhile. Everywhere has it's good and bad find the good apples if you find your self staying here . The woman there touched my heart and became my family. I can't wait to come back for seasonal volunteering!

I call every day at 8 am. On the verge of eviction. I'll be 5 in que and the call will end. So frustrating. I need help and I make sure I'm on top of things then boom. Call disconnected or the lady in the recording says to call later. I'll just live in my car ffs

Woke up early just to put my call in got all the way up to caller 6 just for them to hang up so disappointed. You guys need a better way to accommodate your phone system.

Thank you Linda at Catholic Charities. You have warmed my heart and my home... Me and my children thank you.

Thank you also for your prayers that I may find a good job soon.

With love,

Catholic Charities which is operated by the Archdiocese of Denver and their organization is nothing but a front for slum Lords. They are not doing anything to address the problems with the elevator or the bedbug infestation at their Golden Spike Apartments property. They are only all to glad to take my rent and collect the Housing Subsidy from HUD. But care very little about the health and safety of their tenants. The elevator has been broken since I moved in May 2018. There are nothing but excuses for why. I thank The Power's That Be that I am not in a wheelchair or dependent upon a walker to get around. But their ads on the Internet clearly state they have an elevator. Bait and Switch advertising at it's best. If this building was managed by anyone else the Denver Fire Department would have closed it. But when you complain, their staff threatens you with eviction, cause they'll just confirming somebody else to move in. This establishment is nothing connected to a loving religious beliefs and only out to take people's money!

Didn't really help at all. Nothing was explained nor was instruction clear at all. The chapel was CLOSED and they said to house a covid patient. Really? In the same room where the kitchen supplies are kept? No bathroom facility? Not very sanitary in my opinion. Bodily excretion in that type of environment is most definitely unsanitary and dangerous.

Hi Jamie when I had came here the very first day. I started to realize it was very cozy. Because at first living on the streets it was like inside of a garbage can so I just pray to god that I will find others. I came all the way from Colorado fort collins. The weather here seem alot colder. When I lefted on the 18th of Oct. It was 12 degrees so cold. Jamie Just now out looking for Jobs and more opportunities to seek!
