If u have a job or plan on work or goal they will deny you which is beyond crazy staff nice but shelter requirements are ridiculous. This y so many women and children are on the street

As far as remodeling goes.. it looks very nice but the staff are very rude and will write you up for almost anything. The food is horrible, sometimes uncooked and other times had bugs or either cold. Everyone here has a attitude, nobody is positive in this shelter. I do not recommend. This is a jail!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

For my 40th birthday I had a plan to collect old purses and fill them with feminine hygiene products. I have a lot of supplies and purses. Can I drop off the purses and feminine hygiene products? Are you all in need of them?

Qiana Butler | Oct 15, 2018
Glamour Glory | Oct 15, 2018

You can definitely drop them off, and the ladies would definitely appreciate your generous gifts.

Finicia Jones | Oct 15, 2019
Angela Forez | Oct 15, 2019

Its a first come, first serve, no guarantee type facility. If they are turned away, its because they have not updated the bed check to see who is still there.. Be at ADS before 7 am and you will see the difference at 815...
