Questions & Answers

I don’t understand how these shelter get funded so much money and it so hard to get in and there so many homeless people with mental illness or elders out there @ the mission I was told by staff they don’t want any sick people (unable to work )

Sophia Estrada | Sep 12, 2018

Im not sure what the question is but what i do know about the bakersfield homeless shelter is this. If you abide by their rules and put up with living with a bunch of other people, it is unbelievable the help they will give. They get you section eight for the rest of your life. They can get you into homeless court which takes away ALL of your fines if you have any. They give you funtiture when you get your own place they help remove any evictions or pg and e bills you may owe. They also can give you a job. The jobs they offer can lead to much better jobs if you are a hard worker. They also offer free daycare if you are working. Of course they dont want any sick people there . They are not a hospital. Elderly should go to nursing homes and mentally ill to Mary Kay Shell. There is a place for everyone

Does this place offer a shower?

Brandi Hampton | Sep 12, 2019
Mark Christopher | Sep 12, 2019

This place is mainly for women and children who are victims of domestic abuse, but they offer 2 meals a day for anyone hungry. They only allow men to stay If they are spouses of the women staying there, or if they are biological parents. You cannot shower unless you are processed in. Great place to volunteer, and they offer help for people, just make sure you're not on drugs or bring in alcohol. They'll give you a job to do to keep the place ship shape, and they offer jobs to anyone who can pass a drug test and can work hard hours litterpicking on the highway. Hope this was helpful.

Wat do u need to stay at shelter????

Jennifer Juan | Sep 12, 2018
Darrin Powers | Sep 12, 2019

They have guidelines on staying there but don't if you need anything. I believe not at first but a person continues to stay they are required to get a social and discounted ID.

I am not sure if I (Bakersfield Homeless Center, opps) provide a place. I am a client of housing and urban development to know and be aware that there is senior apartments in Housing and Urban Development. Just contact Kern 211 or Bakersfield Homeless Center to help what old lady needs a place. Suggest you to contact INPENDENT LIVING CENTER of KERN COUNTY that is strongly supported seniors.
