I'm giving them a 2 star rating for the times they've helped me out. It's like pulling teeth trying to get anyone to answer any phones, & than the lucky time you DO get an answer, it's usually a very ignorant person, as if you're bothering them to do their job. Unfortunately I've had no choice as of recent to result to using CEO. I completely understand why landlords do not want anything to do with accepting any funds from CEO because it takes FOREVER for the rent check to get issued, all because you can't get a hold of anyone!! I'm tired of calling over and over, leaving messages that NEVER get returned. I understand they're probably stressed and overloaded.. but is it THAT hard to have some.compassion & common curiosity in your mannerism over a phone call? It's Luzerne County. I wouldn't expect nothing less. Since I can't get a hold of ANYONE or ANY returned phone calls AND emails for WEEKS, I will be stopping at the office today. I'm sure if we owed CEO money, they'd be on our @ss about it every day. They just don't seem to care. They need an over haul on employment & education on customer service. There's my rant & 2 cents! 😡 totally fed up.at this point

Fax no for an ceo

Yes they have a fax

Can ceo help with first months rent and security?

SHana MurphY | Sep 22, 2020
Patricia Shark | Sep 22, 2020

They can assist but they don't find the apt for you and the landlord must accept CEO, home must be up to date, all taxes paid on property, and have a certificate of occupancy through the city of Wilkes Barre.

Does CEO offer weekly bus passes?

Dawn Franklin | Sep 22, 2021
Ich bin stark Wolfhausen | Sep 22, 2021

No., But if you have 10 kids from 19 different men, they will qualify you for help. In other words, you have to have excruciating circumstances or,tons of kids. But don't get discouraged, call any way. Best of luck.

Any one. Knw when the vouchers will be mailed for Thanksgiving

William millham | Sep 22, 2020

Cause its work and people i find are generally lazy. Simple as that, keep pushing and eventually you will move someone.

What is the program that is helping recovering addicts with rent?

Traci Vogt | Sep 22, 2020
Kevin Botelho | Sep 22, 2020

The program is for anyone in need, you just need to go to the office, have your ID, income for the last month, and anything you have to show the rent you're paying. The front desk will get you to who you need to talk to.

Yes, also with first month's rent if needed. Funding is never guaranteed, but we will do whatever we can.

Do they help with utilities

Kathy Gallo-Sauer | Sep 23, 2019
Truckers-Rule | Sep 23, 2019

I believe that you would need the past 3 mo. of the utility bills in question with you when you go there, it's usually busy so an appointment might help you out, they'll assist you no doubt. Peace :-) out!
