YWCA San Diego Reviews

Keep up the good work.., there's no room in this world for abusive a$$ holes! !

This place is a complete disgrace. They say they serve victims of domestic violence yet they have a CFO/COO, Donna Gough, who uses abusive tactics to push staff out and anyone who speaks up against it is pushed out by the CEO, Heather Finlay. At the same time under qualified managers are making excessive salaries with no education or professional background to justify such salaries. In addition they falsify information in order to obtain government grant money to make a personal profit that almost never goes to help the clients and if it does go to clients it only goes to the hispanic clients, the ones they tend to favor. The executives live lavish lifestyles while hosting expensive staff parties while clients live in infested dirty quarters as they are fleeing their abusers. This is what they call serving the community. Shame on you YWCA!!!

This place is a fruad and the people here are unsupportive. They tell you to get a restraining order in order to protect them and not really concerned about your safety or your case they claim to assit you with legal help and pay for an attorney for your case but if something come up such as attorney and client relationship, they will not help you pay for a lawyer they don't care. This is not a real domestic violence survivors support. I would look elsewhere for assistance for domestic violence survivors. This is the worst location for any assistance for domestic violence survivors.

Came here to their Becky's house DV shelter. Disgusting place let me say that first. They have roaches as big as your thumb & mice on their patio where children play. I've also been bitten by bedbugs here. They don't make anyone wash their clothes when they enter so anybody can bring anything in there. No mattress covers on the mattress. The blanket they gave me had a used bandaid stuck on it. The water smells like sewer water & there are nats in the bathroom. I've seen bugs coming out of their sink once. They did however exterminate the place, but that same night I saw more roaches than I've seen before. I do not recommend this shelter to anyone!!!!

Friendly, helpful place to get help for a number of legal issues and women s services.
