Didn't like the way they treat the homeless as far as the place they put u in the room had bed bugs the way the front desk people treated the homeless the things that I heard from people in the facility also didn't like the way they make I stand outside in the cold for food even people with new born babys I felt they where very strict ran like a jail some reasons I can understand because I have mentally ill people that lived in the same place but for some I didn't I felt they where kinda bias depending on who you were but once you get in the program the good thing was that they do help you enroll your kids in school and they do give you a homeless verification letter I did like that about it also they give you a caseworker but what I didn't like about that was the caseworker was never there too much to answer your phone and even your caseworker always had to go through someone else over them so it's like why am I calling the caseworker I should have just called whoever was over you but that's my opinion I would give three stars but it just needs work far as how they treat the homeless we are people too just because your homeless doesn't mean you're a bad person we actually had a house fire and I got turned down from this place a few times before they even let us in which I felt was bias but I still am thankful.

My family member was in this shelter, and she said, they don't really help you, they give you your mail late, they always threatening to throw the girls out, they keep bus tickets and food sometimes from the women and children in the shelter, and they fire the employees that actually try to help the women, they gave them spoiled macaroni and cheese, this is sad, mc crest need to hire people, who really want to help people.

MCrest is not all it’s cracked up to be especially since they moved in ther new facility. They have changed. Management just sits on ther butt in the office giving orders . They have No idea how it is . They don’t care about ther staff or the homeless. The other day one of the mothers asked for milk for her baby at 9pm and they said no it’s to late . Than the week before they exited a mother with a new born and 3 other little girls. The didn’t give her life skills training like they say they do. She s out the street again. Plus in house there treated like prisoners. Some of the sandwiches I’ve seen given out in there lunch bag is terrible. I’m sorry this isn’t right. I know I worked there and quit. They don’t even have professional cleaners come in . They depend on the staff to do it when they can. This is mine and others observation and it’s not right l. The homeless are real people tooo.

I am very happy I was told about this Program 😁😁 the Staff and the volunteers are Absolutely Wonderful💗🌺🌸💜❣️ they have shown us kindness and support! The only thing that I feel could change is the mask rule being the CDC no longer says we have to wear them. All in all it's a great program to those in need but, you have to have the drive to want to better yourself. Thanks xoxo Jenn 😘❤️🥰

You're better off finding another location. They barely answer the phones and they're always full .

I purchased (10) brand new sleeping bags for Ukraine. They are very nice, but I am told too big to get there. They are standard size. Can you use these for people that come to the shelter? Please let us know and we will drop them off. Thank-you

Yes. Not sure who it will actually go to but yes. If you want it to go to surely go to needy children you can always go to the family resource Center over on N. Rose and groesbeck. The HeadStart/MorningStar section on the side facing N. Rose will either use the toys for their programs or pass it down to families in need. But there are many other organizations like the Homeless Coalition, Macomb Community Action Center, etc in the main building as well
