Rules are ridiculous Making us wait out in 95’ weather to stand in line to eat Getting us up at 5:30 am Too many crazy people here that should be locked up Food is terrible unless you like rice and chicken every day Breakfast are coffee (maybe)and muffins I’m only grateful for roof over my head

It's sad how they treat people it's 90 plus degrees and they won't even let the homeless people in out of the elements

The overall program assist you in staying sober, getting a job, and eventually getting your own place. There are rules that you have to go by. The program is very good if you follow the rules. You get three meals a day and a snack. The only thing is when I was a resident there some of the food was old and not prepared correctly. But I think they have that under control now. You also have chores that you need to do. The chores are for having a nice roof over your head and having your meals for the day. It's depends on you how long it takes you to get through the program. Your case manager will help you whatever your needs are they have the ability to help you in any way. Remember your first 30 days you can only go to the doctors. After 30 days you can ask for a pass to go and do the things you need to do. If you are homeless and you don't want to be in the street work the program because it works.
