I Was Offered Stained Toilet Paper With A Strange Substance On It. Literally, Got Into An Disagreement About Getting Clean Toilet Paper. In Code 105. CMR 410.750 It States That This Is An Violation. It Is A Health Hazard.

If you have nowhere else to go it will provide you a place to sleep and food if you can eat it. The elevator is almost always out of order and leaves you to walk up all the steps.

It is a safe haven for some. If you are genuinely looking for a positive change in your life and feel you deserve better for your self and are worth working for it like any other diverse situation you fight for what's right and do the next best thing and woods Mullen will help you

They treat some of us like dirt. I had no choice but to put up with it because I had no where else to go. Some people get to leave their bags wherever they like to go to the smoking yard, but when I left mine to go eat in their kitchen I was told that mine would get thrown away if I did that again. The other day my left ankle was so swollen that I went to see the visiting clinic, and one of the staff told the Dr. that I was an alcoholic (I don't drink), and I did not receive the medical care I needed. Some of the people who work there are good people, but those who play games get away with it. They should try a little humanity.

Can you get a bed at 10 pm or stay down stairs until morning ?

Kim Raffa | Aug 27, 2019
Nena Diaz | Aug 27, 2019

Just left that place. Horrific environment. You can pretty much get a bed anytime but you may have to have a top bunk. The "overflow" sleeps downstairs. Good luck and be smart there. And tough.

Government must shut down this egregious slavery chattel. What a disaster for mistreatment of the citizens of America. Government mistreatment and disregards for citizens in the U.S.A. should stop this criminal activity. The operators are foreigners abusing American citizens while stealing Americans ids and making money and putting foreigners in charge of Black Americans to destroy their rights to civil rights accessibility. Corruptions lying and misuse of public funding and self sufficiency. Government must shut down this egregious holocaust against all Black American citizens and remove this criminal activity asap.

Woods Mullen it run by the Boston Public Health Commotion. If you want to donate to the woman's shelter, you need to be very specific about where you want the money to go. Otherwise it just goes into a general fund.

How come there is not sufficient water running on the showers @ 784?

Wanda Ivette Sanchez Ramos | Dec 29, 2021

It's 794.I recently left there about two weeks ago. The place is an old building so some of the pipes leak water on the first floor. The place isn't a good place to live nor does it look like it's up to standard. There are many things there that would fail inspection. Be careful.

Are pets allowed?

Well all I got to say ,there are other agency that will help you if unhappy. When I was there there were a lot that I was unhappy with also.but I remembered that it was only temporary and I focus hard on finding something. Talk to Karen and Stephanie they have a lot of info....you gotta make time for you to accomplish thease things.Tia I wish and pray that you all receive what you are looking for..lorraine Godfrey past resident..ps.dont let what's going on around you take you from your future goals.

Deniece Cain | Aug 27, 2018
Tuwanda Jones | Aug 27, 2018

Follow the rules and policy. Mind your own business. Utilize all the resources, and don't trust anyone. She may have to keep on her case manager about certain things. Keep her valuable close. Don't have anyone watching your bags/luggage. No unsealed bottles/ snacks. Beds given out by 3:30 pm. So get there by 3:15 pm. Hope this will help.
