My family & I have lived here for right under 3 months & we love it here ! There's not a whole lot of places in this world like this & if you ask us, there isn't a place like this at all ! The new director has done more in 3 days than in months before! It's home to us ❤️

Unlike most shelters... Community shelter services a very good social service agency. They operate the community shelter, services on West 17th and Columbus, apartments above the shelter, Also a converted School building, "The lodge on sass"located at the, corners of Sassafras St and West 9th St. Each room has it's own bat 🦇 h-room, Bed, Microwave, they must share a kitchen and some common areas. "The Lodge on Sass" is converted, office building! Community Shelter Services, Inc. A well known social service agency in the Erie Community. Started and created by Kathy Cancilla! Who sadly passed away a few years back. Community Shelter Services would not exist without her Creativity, Guidance and Leadership. Kathy Cancilla's, Legacy will live on Forevermore, Through the many lives she has, already touched! also in the lives of the future homeless people who seek service's from, Community Shelters Services, Inc.

I have been working with them since they opened. They are very welcoming to the homeless population and kind and are very willing to assist them in finding permanent housing. Further, they have subsidized single permanent housing for low and very low income folks and offer solutions to those folks using the resources in our community. I personally have worked with them for decades and think they are awesome. Quite honestly, I think they deserve a 10.
