I want to personally thank Alexis for taking the time to listen and help my children come up with an emergency plan for my children really loving the good stuff caring people like you are putting in the universe
Safest place, they really protect privacy of clients. They have a procedure for gaining housing which can be difficult to do with each situation.. yet I'm still extremely continuously surprised and entirely admirable at their ability to retain after assistance even.. the protection of privacy and time spent there. Thank you.
Waypoint are good people! There the ones that help me get off the streets! They helped me find someone that would let me after background check? Took 3 years! I spent over 1000 dollars paying for apartment places to do a check on me! Next day I'd get a call! Sir,we cant accept ya but we will put ya on the list! As soon as your 7 years are up you can move right in??
I fully and totally Support Waypoint.... Blessed to have them in Our Community!
Roz, the "boss," is absolutely amazing. She is caring and protective of the people who come in, especially the women in the Madge Phillips shelter. Roz just wants to see people get back on their feet, get their own home, get a job of they're able to do so, and get to a point where they can manage their life with minimal assistance. As long as you're looking for a place to live, generally getting along with others, and following the rules, she'll be your biggest fan. However, she doesn't put up with anyone abusing anyone else. The same week my late wife & I entered the shelter, someone who we'd heard slap and cuss out their child in the room next door was kicked out. That's when we knew we were *safe* there. I love Roz, and I go back every month or two just to say hi, tell her how I'm doing, and get my Roz hug. She's amazing, and I'm forever grateful for her.
They provided a great safe place for my family to stay
They helped me out in so many ways by giving me up with a gas voucher to get to Waverly and by setting me up with shelter in Cedar Rapids while fleeing from a Domestic Assault relationship. I attended the Exhale Project that Sofie a Domestic Violence Advocates for the group discussions.
Love it!
