We had a wonderful advocate that is no longer with the agency. I doubt we would ever be that blessed again and I have heard terrible stories from other disabled persons regarding this agency. Our advocate Pat was amazing and we are grateful for his help.

Had a great experience with Atty. Kristen Aiello. Responsive, realistic, and very personable.

People can paper their walls with denial slips. They lie and say one thing then send a letter before hand a denial. Want real help hire a real attorney. They used the consent decree to get jobs that's it. A disabled person was told could have rats in their walls windows all broke out. Sad excuse for agency.. Like someone else said don't waste your time.

They discriminate against individuals with disabilities especially ones with head injuries and have a global agenda in making the disabled feel powerless and even more discriminated. I had tried talking to their council in 2014 and they denied me a case while the problems continued currently. I'm a Disabled Native American of Veterans.
