I give this place less than a 1 star! These people do provide shelter BUT there is so much favouritism. I use to stay there and I was treated as if I was doing them wrong. I was going to college AND looking for work and I was not always able to make it back early for a meeting with case worker. They seem to have a problem with me buying my own food and not eating the food they provided. For 1 reason: someone was un thawing a large meat in the sanitation sink. I knew from working in restaurants that that was unhealthy and against food safety. Another problem that I had was someone use the time that I signed up to do laundry and did not get in trouble for it. During the winter, they put a yellow caulk around the inside of the windows to keep the cold out, but there is no way to open the windows in case of a fire. There is only 1 emergency exit just case there is fire and most of the families with children are on the second floor and they have to go right past the kitchen. This is place is far from being a "CHRISTian" organization.
