Comfy mattress even if it is on the floor. Lol it's warm at least. I got a new apartment that I move into Monday. But it's nice to know there's places out there like this. I never would have known about homeless shelters if my sisters weren't showing me tough love. They won't even allow me to stay At my dad's place. I guess everything happens for a reason. Lol

Worst place in the world to find yourself with kids! I found myself without a home during winter & went to this Waterville shelter which claimed to be a family shelter! When we arrived it had single adults on one side of the building & families on the other! We were forced to sleep with our room door open & weren't permitted to shut it ever even during the day! Myself & my 3 small children ages 1, 2 & 7 were given a room to share with 1 other mother & her 2 kids in a 10×10 room! The picture in their website is not a room that they place people in! We were treated like 2nd class citizens due to our homelessness by the management named Betty! I was forced by Betty to put my sleeping baby in a pack n play in front if a very cold window in our room as opposed to her being placed next to my bed. The room reached temperatures of 48°-57° each night! The Waterville Fire Department even told the manager=Betty that the baby wasn't safe near the window but that didn't matter to her! I wasn't even allowed to hang a blanket to shield my napping children's eyes from the sun which I learned by Betty barging in my room unannounced just to rip the blanket down! After 3 months every single person who stayed there came down with a terrible sickness which caused severe diarrhea & vomiting for 7-9 days straight.. Some of the other families I learned had been staying there for 9-11 months & some left to live on the streets because of our living conditions! Case managers did nothing to communicate with other agencies about available rentals and after 3 months & 3 weeks of craziness & very little sleep I took it upon myself to call around to different housing & rental agencies to try & find a way out when I finally I reached out to the Brunswick Family shelter & they gave me the number to Brunswick Housing Authority because the caseworker from Brunswick Family Shelter told me I was on a waiting list thru them! So I called the Brunswick Housing Authority & was immediately told that they had tried to reach me thru the Waterville Shelter because I was moved to the head of the list to receive a voucher for housing! So they did nothing but give me a room to lay my children down at night but caused some serious trauma for all that stayed there! The worst part was Betty & the helpless feelings she purposefully made us feel due to our homelessness! The only ok part about staying there was the overnight staff which felt compassion for us ended up putting up a sliding partition wall to separate the adult singles from us on the family side! No housing was found with their help! Thankfully I called Brunswick Family shelter! Myself & 2 of my 3 children will never forget the trauma & judgment of that horrible Shelter!

Stayed here with my 10 month old for three months, some of the rules are ridiculous and some of the staff treat you like your beneath them. They did however help me get into a place and continue to help me while I get on my feet! My advice for Any on having to go through that difficult time is to remember it's just temporary and just do what's asked you.. it's worth it to find stable housing!

As of right now no
Maurice, Typically you would call to see if they have space for you, but if you have no place to go tonight, go to 19 Colby Street in Waterville. If they don't have a bed, they can at least put you on a cot for the night so you will be warm
They have taken families in before... So they might give them a call
No pets are allowed
The shelter provided housing, resources to the homeless (As long as the rules are followed) until you are successfully housed. You will need to call the shelter daily for bed availability. Good luck
I don't work there, you have to call them.
I believe they are using plastic utensils only at this time. I think that would be helpful, yes. Thank you!
I don't know I'm a female and I know they don't have any available beds for females so you would have to call the shelter and ask if they have any beds for men I just know they don't have any beds for women because well I'm a woman
The last I knew, they weren't taking new people, because of virus.
Only if you're staying there I believe. But I would call and ask because I don't know for sure.
Hi Frank - bed availability changes daily. It's best to call every day to check and confirm you are still interested. Especially in the winter, it can take a few days. But once you have a bed, it's yours until you can find permanent housing. Hope this helps!
only new items because of the fear of bed bugs, fleas etc. But if you want to help the shelter could always use cleaning products such as dish soap, laundry soap, tp paper,
I think it is 430 for family and 5 for single,unless it has change
430 unless you have a job or appointment that requires you to be out longer. And yes you have your phone there.
Come in and see if we can help. We are very full not sure if theres bed availability. Always check in
No one as of yet.....
Contact the mid maine shelter, there are also may be assistence throught the town office
Hi Karey, they very well may but have limited space. Give them a call and they can let you know for sure!
