They threw away all my stuff and didn't let me in because I blew a 0.003 on the breathalyzer. I worked a 16 hour shift. These people are evil.

Rudolph this is the deal although I don't live there I have conducted many investigations regarding the same set issue because I do a lot of Outreach with the homeless it is a known fact that if you do perhaps leave some valuables it doesn't even have to be valuable man even if you stencil your identification within your belongings you may find them gone and find them actually in the donation room and if you go claim them as your own and show that they're yours what they will do next is call the Boise Police and have you been for life is not a joke this is the most corrupt place in the whole universe that truly is not helping men to go further into their own light it actually just enables them to stay downtrodden and puts money into the Reverend Roscoe's wallet I'm so sorry to have said that but unfortunately this is a sad fact

Juan Muriel | Sep 25, 2020
Sinful Composites | Sep 25, 2020

There is no staff member named piggy backs. If they told you to leave for one night only then you can come back the next day just not between the hours of 0800-1600.

When asking staff charlie walker for a qtip at 530 am have the right to say im tired of you people thinking you think you entitled to every thing you people thats raciest in my book im latino

Juan Muriel | Sep 25, 2020
Sinful Composites | Sep 25, 2020

That has nothing to do with racism if he infact said that he was referring to homeless people as you people not Hispanics. Charlie is a good guy though I doubt he said that.

are there individual rooms for one?

Jacob Kirby | Sep 25, 2020
Danny Austin | Sep 25, 2020

Only if you are an honorably discharged veteran. Even then it can take some time depending on available space.

If you're staying at the shelter and get a job at night, can you still come in and sleep safely during the day?

V Reynolds | Sep 26, 2018
Nickolaus MacManus | Sep 26, 2018

Depends how late you're working at night. If you're working graveyard shift or not. They'll let you sleep in. You just have to let your case manager know you're schedule. The place is definitely safe though.
