Worst treatment of human beings I have ever had the unfortunate circumstances to meet. THESE people treat the place like a prison. I unfortunately got caught here during the pandemic and the staff made it even harder for the families there. Mean spirited people running the place. Hateful of any woman who has a man coming in with the family.

Me and my Family were treated very well during our time of need. They did not hesitate to take us in. We were fed and placed in a private room until they found a program for us. The staff there were kind and respectful from beginning to end. Thank you so much Shield of Hope!

Only if there isn't space in our shelter. Our facility has 20 rooms and holds up to 72 individuals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wW5wdNC3J8&t=0s&list=PLRtE8svmrQwDLBwZJxq_zGvKLeeGzBur5&index=5

Do they help finding a shelter that will help you get a apartment and a job or you and your kids got to be in shelter with no help finding a apartment or permanent housing programs

I'm in a shelter now. The shelter itself does help you by assessing your (housing) needs (and that of your kids if you have any). And they will help you find housing that are accepting applications and help you apply, like SECTION 8, CHA and HUD or any other affordable/low income housing Then they let you know if anything becomes available. I only been here one month. I don't know about jobs cos I'm on disability...Hope this helps.
