Horrible service. Veronica Lewis in Energy Assistance was messy and rude. Told me she couldn't continue to help me because she gets off at 4:30. But she had enough time to ask messy questions about my past that had nothing to do with energy assistance eligibility. She is holding up my case for information she has access to herself. I had a stroke and couldn't go myself so my husband went. She tried to give him the run around and rush him out the door. When I spoke to her she understood that I knew that she wasn't doing things according to the policy. At that point she became more interested in who I was and where I used to work rather providing the service Community Advocates is known for. Just because I am in need of help from an agency doesn't mean that I should be treated like a second rate citizen. #SMH #WISHIDIDN'TNEEDHELP!

I have never had any problems getting service from this place until covid came. I have been calling leaving messages after messages leaving email address. I have been trying to get in touch with them since mid may and NO BODY will even try to call you back there has been absolutely no communication. Community Advocates really dropped the ball when myself and thousands of other who truly needs help and can't even get a simple phone call text or email. Next step will be calling/ emailing to Madison to put in a formal complaint. COMMUNITY ADVOCATES NEEDS TO DO BETTER WITH HELPING THE COMMUNITY (considering it's base word "Community")

I was looking for affordable housing and kept hearing about this place. Not only were they really rude but also, any listing they have is not up to date at all and the lady I talked to obviously didn't care at all. They are supposed to help make things better if they can for those in need, instead they help make things worse for those in need.

I had a terrible experience today. I was there today with my sick child for 2 hours waiting to see someone about rent abatement until repairs are done because this is the 2nd time my child has been hospitalized for high lead levels. Someone finally tells me to go home and wait for a call to get an appointment. Someone calls me & tells me they can't schedule an appointment for me until I come back and make a copy of the property report!!! I already wasted 2 hours sitting in the waiting room with my sick child I don't have time to keep coming back and forth because of your incompetence !!I had the report in my purse the whole time but the lady just dismissed me before I could ask anything now I'm back at the hospital with my child trying to stay positive but it's frustrating when community resources set to help you seem to make things worse for you than better

We came to Covering Wisconsin in this building for help evaluating health insurance options after I lost my job. The waiting area is a quick lesson in urban life. The building is clean. The parking lot is treacherous for walking to and from your car, both in terms of holes and drivers. Sign in at the desk, and you won't have to pay for parking.

WORST PLACE EVER!!!!!!!! They never seem to give the proper information, when referred to a worker the worker can not help nor even give any useful information just horrible super upset with the lack of resources they provide or maybe it s just I m encountering myself with people who are lazy and don t want to do their job.....was at the location last week waited for a worker gave my information they sent out a message for someone to contact me and no one reached out so I called and when I finally speak to Denis from Housing she was unable to even help me telling me I don t no why they didn t give you that information in the front I never got a message from you ect ect. Again 2nd time I ve been there needing help new to this state just some guidance and nothing every time..... horrible if this is how a lot of families are getting treated.

Slow and unorganized. People checking in for energy assistance and documents returned stand in the same line as appointments. Very time consuming. One window for appointments one for walking a and returning documents. Returning documents then sent to the appointment window. Checking in takes extremely to long and there in no accommodation for the disabled wanting in line.

Horrible place. I went there and as soon as I parked and exited my car I was me by the maintenance man, who claimed he owned the parking lot, telling me if I didn't move I would be towed. I told him I was running into the store and then coming into the building. He said I couldn't park there and then threatened to break my jaw if i didn't move my car. I will be filing a formal complaint. You are there to help people and allow this guy to try to intimidate people parking there.
