All of these said so "good reviews" are fake. One of my friends recently got out of here and it sounds like a very bad place. No respect.

I do not recommend this place for anyone who is trying to look for some serious help. I had a bad experience here and got no help. The staff will always assume things about you. Blame you. Hold grudges against you. Assume things about you. They never trust you either. They automatically assume you are a bad kid and a liar. If you hang out with any of the other kids there they assume your doing something wrong. They also jump to conclusions. The facility itself is not very good. The rooms are very big blank and dark also hot. The beds are plastic and springs (had a sore back). The food it's actually good. The showers are dated and not clean also very small like your in a tile box. Outside is a little dangerous a table that's full of splinters and can collapse at any second. So if your thinking about dropping your kid here please for the love of God fix the issue because these facility's will mess you up even more than you could ever imagine. Side note heard a little bird say that one time a kid got $exually assaulted by a staff member. So think twice about sending your kid here. (FREEDOM OF SPEECH)

I was told about the great work that SafeHouse was doing in Riverside as well as the Coachella Valley by a friend of mine. I have always been involved with non-profits, and thought that SafeHouse was a good fit. I have since become a board member and have seen up close the good work being done to help young people in their time of need. The employees of SafeHouse are the most dedicated group of people that I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. They possess the passion needed to help make a positive difference in the life of a young person and their family.

This place has a lot of great reviews but highly doubt most of them are real I had an experience with this place it was THE WORSE ! They really are not committed what so ever they may seem like it in the beginning but trust me looks are very deceiving here”.

SafeHouse of the Desert is an emergency shelter for 11-17 year olds. The Transitional Living Program serves 18-21 year olds. Programs like Martha's Village and Kitchen or Coachella Valley Rescue Mission would be a good place to start for emergency shelter for adults. There are also some affordable housing programs that you can find out about through the city she wants to live in.
