Its sad people work in these fields have no empathy or professionalism They try tp answer your question before you've even gotten it out. Sad when you're own city can not help you

If I could give 0 stars I would. This department is helping nearly no one, while dozens and dozens I've personally met are in crisis (housing, nutritional, medical, mental, substance) on the streets. What is this department even for if not to help those in need? FAIL

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
