There's an amazing employee named Charlotte there! Super down to earth and truly cares about others. It's obvious she loves her job!

Naomi's House needs to be thoroughly investigated. The women here are not treated equally. Psychotic individuals are allowed to threaten, accost, and antagonize, certain favoritism is shown to select clients, and client grievances go unheard. In terms of housing match process being practiced, there is zero transparency. The caseworkers withhold vital information pertaining to the availability of emergency housing vouchers, procrastinate the processing of documentation submitted to determine housing match options, and blatantly lie to cover up their wrongdoings. Whoever is contributing to the funding for this shelter needs to execute an intricate and spontaneous scrutinization of what occurs within the confines of this organization. We as those who have been displaced are being exploited severely just to bring money. We are told they they have no supplies, while they have an entire storage facility stocked with them. People who are clearly physically unwell and/or people who are mentally incapable of functioning in this co-habitating environment are allowed to defecate the bathrooms, shower stalls, and even the beds where they sleep among the general population of the clients. There is overt inconsistency with staff and enforcement of policies and rules differ for each person. When grievances ar filed, there is no showcase of confidentiality as other clients are made privy to complaints submitted and thereby they speak of them among each other. Safety is a huge concern. We are made to wait outside of the gate for upwards of 15 minutes at times--day or night-- just to be granted entry back into the shelter with no regard for our physical safety and lurking men approach us as we await in vulnerable positions, especially in the dark, and they say they security is making its rounds. We are clearly NOT priority. When any health hazard is reported, like vomit/feces/urine expelled by a client in the sleeping areas where we all must reside, we are told, "You are in a shelter," as is we are being enlightened. The food served at the Poverello House, adjacent to this shelter and working collaboratively with Naomi's House, served horridly spoiled food which frequently makes several clients sick. Naomi's House only serves a snack and no dinner; they don't allow us to have hot foods. Staff and management are never held accountable for their shortcomings and the air of dismissive apathy is given off by them on a typical day.

It may not the be the place a woman wants when they're homeless, but only the strong survive this place and move on from it. So thank you Sara Mirhadi!
