If it’s listed as a “Homeless Shelter”, be a shelter for the homeless. They referred me to a different place. Because they aren’t a shelter.

Love this place and what they stand for. They are very compassionate, caring and make a difference in the community.

Someone I know is currently staying there. I was shocked to learn from his mother that the staff will not permit him to take his psych meds even though he is diagnosed with bipolar disorder, depression, and schizophrenia. Even more disturbing is the fact that staff members have assigned the derogatory nickname “The Pacer” to him because of his constant pacing - a sign of his mental illness. Apart from this being unprofessional, it is just plain mean and speaks volumes about the quality of personnel who pretend to be loving, caring Christians. The hypocrisy is astounding. I work for an organization that provides mental health care to incarcerated persons. As you might imagine, the clinical staff deal with extreme cases of mental illness on a daily basis. It’s exhausting, frustrating, often dangerous work, but they do it because they care. During my time at this company I have NEVER heard any of them make fun of mentally ill patients or assign them nicknames. Last week the mother of this person asked to see him so that he could sign power of attorney papers for him so that she could manage his disability paperwork. Not only did they refuse to let her see him, they told her that since he has been approved to draw disability, he has to give New Orleans Mission a substantial portion of his payments. How exactly does this help him find his way out of the predicament of homelessness? Is it fair to call New Orleans Mission a homeless shelter even though rent is apparently required to stay there? New Orleans Mission is the antithesis of what it claims to be on its website. WWJD if a destitute guy asks for temporary aid? Apparently lock him up, strip him of mental healthcare, and give him a derogatory nickname while simultaneously helping himself to the guy’s sole source of income.

Disgusting disgraceful..n.o.jail is better

Matthew St. Romain | Sep 17, 2018

The reality is, this is a Church/Homeless Shelter that: *Holds you hostage for a year *Cuts you off from family and friends *Reads your mail *If you get an SSI check, they take it *If you get food stamps, they take it *WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO WORK FOR ANYONE but the New Orleans Mission And the sad thing is, everyone there is being convinced it's a good thing, and once they get in, they'll be brainwashed to talk about nothing but "JESUS and GOD" It fits the legal definition of a CULT!!!!!

My son stayed there, however he didn't mention that he had an OS. Registry status. I'm not affiliated with the program myself, I just posted because they were such Tremendous help at a time when my son needed it. They even directed him to a Salvation Army I believe it was where they got him a bus ticket on to North where we live . Hey had had some really badd luck in Colorado while looking for work had his Van stolen which contained his wallet and clothes and everything else I owned so he hitchhiked down as far as Louisiana so common now you know the rest of the story.

Are they affiliated with any detox or rehabilitation programs

Sarah Scroggins | Sep 17, 2018
Tegan Nappari | Sep 17, 2018

No. They don't do detox or rehab. But if you go in, talk to Candi in intake. She canget program coordinators who may be able to make referrals and help with that. Many addicts do stay in the year long program after detox. As a halfway house/stabilizing period. Not everyone likes the program but they have more successes than failures for sure. They do God's work. They help. Even those who don't wanna be helped

Joseph Moore | Sep 16, 2021

I am traveling through New Orleans and desperately need a shower. Are showers available without staying, and if so, what time? Thank you.

HOBO R3D | Sep 17, 2019
Donald Quesenberry | Sep 16, 2021

Honestly this is a little late but there are places that allow showers here... Search for "the rebuild center" or if your from here the old va building does them during the week in the morning and also washes a load of clothes for you if need be

Can they help with an homeless letter

Chanell C | Sep 17, 2019
Donald Quesenberry | Sep 16, 2021

If you stay overnight I do believe they can issue a homeless letter however, for those unwilling to suffer the religious indoctrination for a prison style sleeping experiance, B.B. St. Roman, is a NOPD officer on the homeless task force and she can issue them after observing you living on the street, and Ms. Angie at the old VA building (crrc) can issue them under the same circumstances as Ms. B.B.

Can couples still be together while being there?

Lewerence Jones | Sep 17, 2019
Gene Burlette | Sep 17, 2019

No. Separated to address needs individually.

Tegan Nappari | Sep 17, 2018

No minors at all. Even free will volunteers are adults. If I were you I wouldn't want my kids there anyway. It not upstanding citizens only. All kinds of offenders. Its a shelter. They don't turn folks away for an ugly past.

Approximately 9 am for the day, lunch around 1 pm. For dinner, check in starts at 4, dinner at 7 after an hour of forced church service at 6.

morrell Perronne | Sep 17, 2018

Usually a month after the Mission receives it

Can husband and wife come

Susan Lyons | Sep 17, 2018
Tegan Nappari | Sep 17, 2018

Yes but you will be staying separately. Wife in the women's quarters. Husband in the men's area and then eventually probably in the retreat thingy which isn't in New Orleans. Somewhere around Mandeville I think. But I'm a female so I've never been plus I'm home in Maryland now
