Better off sleeping in the graveyard! Past 12 yrs, from the corner stone to the dumpster, this place is unorganized as ever, getting worse by the day. Seems like this place operates by unqualified volunteered personal. As far as food and sanitization personals, coercion volunteers with an incentive of rewards or punishments.... NASTY, laundry room Attendee are coercion (shower room), this place runn by uneducated mobs. #mentalpatiens.... program does not works 0% success rate . I would go as far as inhumane. I can't show pics of shower room, due to privacy.
