I had a real hard patch in life. This place kept me alive. Without the resource they provided with the free meals I surely wouldn't be here today to write this. Thank you. Every one of you.

A great bunch of hard working individuals working for people in need

Staff talks to you like you're a child. They yell at you and blame you for things someone else has done. The pipes in the restroom needs work and leaves the area and hallway funky! Case managers don't really do their jobs. One in particular sucks at communicating. Things get stolen, and arguments and fights occur. Staff takes their own issues out on the residents.

I am currently a resident and am very lucky to be in such a clean, well organized shelter which separates male and female so it's a more comfortable situation. Meals are diverse, filling, and taste pretty good. The rules are completely easy to follow, and the staff is nothing short of absolutely wonderful! If you find yourself homeless god forbid, please seek out these shelters, you won't regret it!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Can I get into the shelter on Saturday

Anthony Hayes | Sep 9, 2018
Lanel Haywood | Sep 9, 2018

Call 211, they can give you the info you need, but to answer your question: you generally have to call earlier that day amd put your name on the list. After they do bed counts, around 8 I believe, then you call and see if they have a bed available. It is cold so they might be doing overflow. Of that's the case you'll just get a mat on the floor in a big room until a bed opens. Hope this helps.
