It was my 1-hour holdover (alone) before being quarantined for COVID at another location.

People that make it feel like it's better to sleep in the streets who don't offer proper help or resources not to mention respect. The bed bug issue just adds to so many things horribly wrong with the place.

Dedra Jackson whatever her name is. Has made staying here worst than sleeping outside. She is rude and doesn’t care for anyone. You think this being a shelter the people that work here are compassionate and helpful.nope wrong!! I feel More down when She’s here. She’s like a dark big cloud.I feel Like she’s a bully and always talks down to people. Half the residents here says the same but are to scared to speak up. She pockets the things she takes from us through security and she has intentionally kept me locked out.I ended Up sleeping outside that night after I spent All day at work. We all feel unsafe and uncomfortable with her around. She seems like she’s an opportunist that takes advantage of the old homeless people. She Single handedly is breaking down the people here. I have never met a grown woman with so much animosity and hatred for others. Everytime you see her she’s angry and bitter and rude. She’s lazy and a disappointment to this facility. I have So much more negative things to say about this lady but I want to keep it respectful and PG but I will definitely be reporting her, not just for but for all the elderly and disabled people she picks on in her. She is literally a BIG BULLY!!!!

I was told one time that this place was terrible and I know have learned otherwise these people here are truly concerned about what goes on and how to help other people except for one employee Big Red she likes to steal well it's really not stealing I don't guess in her eyes she watches you spend your money and then she knows that she's going to take it from you but actually pretty ingenious I guess when you get that big you need help staying that big it's got to be expensive I know she's costing me a bunch of money God bless her heart I guess she just confused they gave her a badge and she thinks it's a star we'll just have to be patient

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

Can I go and donate gently used clothes to the people staying here? I have a lot of it from me and my family members men/women and I didn't know if i could just go and lay it out and then just have them pick whatever they needed?

Sure, you can. You may also give them directly to the people. The park or the street near by is host for many generous people. However you do it, please know your kindness is appreciated. Namaste!

911. You can call them from your county and let them know what's going on in her county and maybe they can get her some place safe. Do it ASAP

Will they place you in your own apartment after a certain period?

Vernisha B | Nov 5, 2018
Lucien Fury | Nov 6, 2018

I was there for six weeks. After I was able to get all my documents from the US. ARMY. They set me up with a case worker with Catholic charities. If you have no criminal record and are self motivated. You can get into one of the various programs available. I was directed to find an apartment by Catholic charities who took care of the application fee the deposit was waived and they paid my rent for three months. The shelter doesnt directly take care of all of the details that is between yourself and the program case manager you are assigned too. God bless you and your family. Being destitute is heartbreaking for a single man, try to stay positive and pray always for direction !!

On East Lancaster there is a place called Pace Setters, it's a day labor place just need work boots and an id, there are several cheap motels to stay at if you don't want to stay at the Salvation Army, but I suggest you do and save money to buy a cash car, also available on east Lancaster avenue. Your dog can not stay with you unless you have a harness that says service dog

Not sure how the women's shelter handles things, whether you can get a bed or not. Either way you can come to True Worth Place tomorrow morning starting at 8:30 and speak to someone at the front desk. They will help you get the help you need.

Karen Price | Nov 5, 2020

Yes, they are open. Women are in one building. Men are in another building and Families with children are in another building, However, PNS is infested with bed bugs. The safest bet is either Union Gospel Mission or Salvation Army. I have been to them also and they are extremely clean and no bugs.

How far is the shelter from the greyhound bus station

Freddie Nunez | Nov 4, 2020
Rebecca Tucker | Nov 5, 2020

Leaving the bus station head south down Jones to Lancaster heading East. Pass MHMR on your right. Turn Right at the next road and follow it to TrueWorth. They can help you there. I know the city bus isnt always an option but it's a good 20-30 minute brisk walk

Does pns have transitional housing resources?

Melissa Hendrix | Nov 4, 2020
Raven Gathron | Nov 5, 2020

Kind of. Once you're in the shelter you have to talk to true worth about getting a case manager and the case manager will help you with housing

So if you don't have money you can't stay there, or can I do chores to pay for me staying there I am disabled I am blind from my left eye and I have a bad leg so the shelter won't help me

Freddie Nunez | Nov 4, 2020
Rebecca Tucker | Nov 5, 2020

Union Gospel charges last I knew. PNS does not. Don't know much about their programs for individuals but women and childrens unit has chores and a point system you have to participate in to stay. They help you with housing and they do have jobs available. If you're looking for more info I'd talk to someone who works at True Worth.

When are we as residents going to be offered drinking water again in this extremely hot weather.....our ice is extremely limited inside the shelter and we are not allowed to carry outside drinks in...what are we supposed to do?

Billie Jean | Nov 5, 2019
Chrystal Gomez | Nov 6, 2019

I have only spent the night 1 time there and it was back in May, before he heat really hit hard. I would ask one of the supervisors on duty as to why such limited ice and as to why you can't have outside drinks in. I would think they would be able to assist you with your questions. Hope this helps. Have a good evening and I hope you get some ice soon!!!

If you are homeless and need a state ID, can they help you?

Shawn J. | Nov 4, 2020

Nïcölë Bäbyy | Nov 5, 2019
Dorian Williams | Nov 6, 2019

He's right. The men are separated from women and children only from like 4 pm til 5 am. Other than that you guys can be together all day. Remember, this place isnt the Marriot. But you guys won't go hungry or be in dangerous weather. Use it as a stepping stone. Dont come here to make friends, come here to make progress.

Crysti Drake | Nov 4, 2020
Lakayla Green | Nov 5, 2020

A lot. It all depends on who comes down there. If people dont come down there ,then they just dont eat.

I heard people have their personal stuff stolen all the time and nothing is done about the loss of the homeless peoples items that where stolen in the facility

Ethan Clemmons | Nov 5, 2019
BeTheChange Today | Nov 6, 2019

I don't know about the men's location but for the women's location I can speak on. Things are often stolen at the women's location. To give some background for those who haven't visited this place. To live there you either have to have a legitimate form of income (government check, pay stubs etc) and in this case you have to pay $100 for the bed and $30 for a meal ticket monthly. If you don't have an income then you have to work around the facility for so many hours per day. Well everyone has to leave the facility early by a certain time while those that are working for their beds stay behind. That's when most things come up missing. Also people are creeping around at night while you're sleeping especially if you get up to leave your bed at night to use the restroom. If you don't want to be bothered with paying or working you can just be an overnight guest.
