I stayed there that we're very good to me 😃

Wiseplace helped me when I was at the worst time of my life. I was homeless, no money and at the point where I wanted to end my life. Life was pointless to me. Wiseplace put me back together little by little. First I found people who cared. Then a place to lay my head for more then a night. After that God gave me a good job that I loved going to. Wiseplace thank you for all you do!

Highly organized place for women that are homeless and jobless to get a new start. Very clean and lots of counselors for the residents to help them become a healthy individual. I was extremely impressed with the success they have in their program and the dedication of their staff.

I was at Wiseplace transitional. No AC so the bedrooms start smelling like B.O. really fast. Bedrooms are small, 2 per room. beds are wonky. Showers are not private and are set up like a gym open shower room. (or prison showers). Dryer was broken for longest time so forced to wear dirty clothes. One meal per day, gross prison style cheap not nutritious. I was always starving there. They combine working residents on same floor as ssi recipients, some of whom are seriously personality disordered and have no boundaries, bully and/or copy you like that movie Single White Female. Alot of fighting in the small kitchen area where you cant cook but theres one microwave. A few of the residents who are black are RACIST and hate white people. Too many of the residents are like mental patient predator types who harass you. One nutty Mexican lady was stalking me and doing Santeria curses out in the parking lot like a total nut job. The chubby white girl with shoulder length black hair and way too short bangs was stalking me Single White Female style. Staff Demona is a bit legalistic. Anna Jackson is nice enough but lets harassment happen or is oblivious and perhaps in Pollyanna denial. My roommate was a nutjob who stayed in bed all day and didnt do anything and then stayed up all night keeping me up playing loud Jumanji drum music and tapping away on her laptop. She would parrot me, another personality disordered whack job. I've seen saner people in an actual mental institution. Also no confidentiality with the mail so whackjob psychopaths have access to your name and can steal your mail. If you like to be violated and harassed, this is the place for you.

To stay? Or to enter the program? You would call to schedule for an interview. They will screen you. I think you are eligible as far as you have a hardship with tort living situation. If they have a vacancy, they would place you otherwise, your would be on the waitlist. I think you can have money. They never asked me about my financial situation. In order to maintain your stay at Wise Place, you would have to follow their rules: do your assigned chores, don't get into any trouble with any of the residents, participate in the activities that go on, etc.
Wise Place is a transitional living shelter for women. They do not have attorneys on site; however, they have counselors to help you deal with your emotional issues. If I were you, I would seek legal assistance. There are places in Orange County that offer a free consultation for matters such as yours.
Yes, you can keep your car. Depending on how many residents have cars, the parking may be tight, but you can keep your car. It's a three month program. When I signed up for the shelter, I was told that if the wait list was short and if they had available rooms, I could ask for a fourth month extension. They also said that I could be back on the waiting list and reenter the program. However, without any warning and/or indicating, my fourth month request was denied at the last minute. I said that I wanted to be on the waiting list again. Then, I was told that the program was once in a lifetime. But there were residents who have been in the program previously and came back. So, I'm not sure how long you can stay and how the shelter is run.

No. Wise Place is a women's shelter.
They do take donations the first Monday of the month as a general rule and it's a women only facility.
