Not very helpful at all they want me to get rid of my dog, my dog has protected me very well and she is all I have. I thought they were supposed to help me, not make me get rid of the one thing that actually makes me want to go another day because she needs me as much as I need her. So I can't get help because of my dog . Thanks for nothing but making my life harder.

This is a place you can go if you're homeless to try and see if they will assist you if you need any kind of assistance you have to get there before 7:00 a.m. that's when they open the gate and you have to get a number you could be there for hours and you may not even get a bed so you have to show up every day hoping to get a bed and if you looking for a permanent housing of course you have to go through hoops with anything they offer

Jaime Urasaki | Oct 10, 2019
Holidae Vig | Oct 10, 2019

Minors need an adult with them. There is an orientation new volunteer leaders need to have. I bring in a youth group not to scare them but for them to help. I see families along with schools, church groups etc .. you need to contact the volunteer coordinator for information. It is a very worthy organization.

Do the homeless people in this community go to school, and if so what school.

Tank Connie | Oct 10, 2019
Gloria Torres | Oct 10, 2019

Not that I know of. If you are in grade or high school, the law says you have to go to school. You can try a continuation school like Fresno EOC at 2336 Calaveras, Pershing Continuation at 855 W. Nielsen, or Keppler Neighborhood at 1462 Broadway. There are more, but these are some in Downtown Fresno. Good luck and don't give up, education is key to getting off the streets. God bless.
