They help you if you want to help yourself, stay away from drama and focus on yourself. Work and show that you want to get out of there fast. Keep your things locked up people will try to steal from you. Be respectful to staff as you will want them to respect you. Other then that you get 3 meals a day and the rooms are pretty decent.

I suffer violence, my father hits me more than 2 times a week and I came to this place with the hope that they could help me. But since I'm 16 they didn't have me a place to stay. They told me to go back home. And I am honestly really sad for all those teenagers like me in New York that are trying scape from situations like this and have to stay at their houses until they turn 18

Went there when I was 19 with my first child, almost 12 years ago. They helped me land a job in a pharmacy and with that I was able to get out of the shelters and move up to renting rooms. It was clean, they had a daycare, and training programs which I attended at the time. Always grateful for this place.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Keith Goodson | Aug 16, 2022

A 24 year old is an ADULT. There are numerous shelters for adults as well as many organizations to assist homeless adults. At this point in your life, you should have completed your education, have a job, and be able to find your own place to live. It's hard, but not impossible. And for all you haters out there, I worked for Covenant House and in a MICA (Mentally ill Chemically Addicted) Shelter. I've also been homeless.

gayle wilson | Apr 18, 2022
papo philos | Apr 18, 2022

All shelters are some form or help just to be sure that you review your need and fit yourself with the best location. If you are looking for more of a responsible crowd try the churches. Gayle Wilson I personally use motel and hotel before dealing with the shelter system. Keep me posted I will do what ever I can. Trust me I know the feeling of lost and no place to go. But no worries there are places , safe haven is help people. If you have insurance most insurance qualify for help with shelters.

How do you get into this Shelter ?

Tara Barnett | Mar 19, 2022
Jordyn Owens | Mar 19, 2022

You can call and see if beds are available or you can walk in and ask

A smaller shelter without curfew. Just like a studio and you pay a little rent based on your income. This end result will only materialize if you obey the rules, follow all your appointments respect staff and your fellow residents. You can get your GED there If you don't have. You can train to become security guard, CNA/ Nursing Assistant and house keeper. All these are all free.

I'm shocked to learn that your criteria requires that you be between 18 and 21 years old. Why does your advertising promote the idea that you're helping children? "Bed for Every Kid's Head" is your latest appeal featuring a "teenager". Deceptive.

Angelo Lauria | Sep 16, 2018
Keith Goodson | Sep 16, 2018

16 = teenager 17 = teenager 18 = teenager 19= teeenager Do you want them to take 13 year-olds? By law, your parents have to take care of you until at least 16.

If you are under 21 of age.. and you are homeless.. anything is better then being in the streets.. they give you meals for you to eat a roof over your head.. you can take a shower. Clothes. They help you with a lot about you becoming independent and living a better life.They have a policy you must follow if you are not working.. but if you want to change your life this might be an option.. on so many levels.. mental and physical support.
