If you go here they will refer you to a shelter. The sooner you go the better. I have my son and daughter with me now we are residents at another shelter! Hoping you the best!

20 yr old female and and my husband is 22 we are expecting a boy very very soon... Coming from NY , we suppose to go here.. but we afraid they will split us up... Do anyone know for sure if they split up families?

Abagail McZeek | Oct 1, 2020
Belinda E McCall | Oct 1, 2020

I don't believe that would be true altho I'm not really sure. But they do help in paying your move-in money if you're seekung Affordable Housing. Have a plan B look for something y'all can deal with for now...ask the person you would be renting from if they accept "Rental Assistance"? If so..you'll need a letter from them askung for the dollar amoynt needed to move in. Include all info that may be needed frim the Rentor(landlord) all contact info. Fax..Cell. They help families I kno but I'm not sure if they split families up😟. Once you get there ask for every resource that you may need..don't leave empty handed...I hope thus helps?? Stay Strong

Do they help paying assistance if needed like rent

Felicia Shivers | Oct 2, 2019
Kasey Mulhern | Oct 2, 2019

Yes. The office for rent asst is upstairs

I have been waiting for 2 months then they came and took me out the list after I waitedall that time and called in every morning so I had to tell my case worker put me back on like a week ago if I dont call and ask why is taking long i won't know

Judy Torres | Oct 2, 2019
Azana Bakari | Oct 2, 2019

The urgency is different for everyone. If you stay on top of them you shouldn't have to wait long. I went in and was back the next day to speak with my caseworker. After that they had me call salvation army for shelter. I was placed less than a week. I wish you all the best!

If your a couple can you be together or do they seperate you, i suffer from many illnesesses.

Tommie Tee | Oct 2, 2019
Nadine Taliver | Oct 2, 2019

Ask them for information about shelters for couples, one is the cafe at 3309 Melon street in west Philadelphia

After doing the intake are you placed in a shelter the same day?

Tommie Tee | Oct 2, 2019
Lyz Marie Miller | Oct 2, 2019

Sometimes no but they usually send you and your family to an overnight facility where you stay and then you go back to the AppleTree Center the next morning they will continue to either allow you to keep staying at a temporary overnight shelter until they find you permanent placement or they move you around to other temporary shelters until you're placed like they've done me because I have health issues. If you have any health issues bring medical documentation and all medication. If you can something current from doctors or specialists will help you with where you are placed ultimately.

When you get placed do you get you’re own room or do you sleep on cots ?

Aliyah Diamond | Oct 2, 2019
Glady | Oct 2, 2019

You sleep in a room with 1 other family, a twin bed and if you have a infant you get a play pen for them to sleep in if you have a child that's about school age they get their own twin bed. I was in a room with 4 twin beds and 2 play pens and two closets.

Rachael Allen | Oct 2, 2018
Georgia Moore | Oct 2, 2018

No but if you want to be placed with you husband, bring it. Whole family placement is scarce. You may have to get placed in seperate shelters
