Horrible people, it's a shame is called friendship house when they are not friendly, attentive, not because most people get there using drugs and alcohol everyone is the same.

The house assistant smokes pot, but if you get caught doing the same thing you're out on the street. Better off living in your car.

Questions & Answers

Why does the friendship house not feed breakfast instead of dinner? I would think it would be cheaper and it would motivate people to get up and do something. People could be directed to day labor and other community resources.

We used to serve all 3 meals but the local business owners and the church got tired of the homeless community congregating around the area in front of shops all day. They tried to close the FH down all together but failed to do so. The reality is that most in the homeless community are respectful and grateful for what we do, but a small % of them ruined it for the greater

Be in where?

What kind if policy does the friendship home have towards drugs and alcohol? How do they enforce these rules? Are their houses as strict as the OXFORD houses?

When residents, they're not allowed to use drugs or drink. The regulations as of 2014, people were drug screened before entry of the shelters. I am not aware of any changes. I'm quite sure that you can get more information either from their website or by calling and requesting a copy of their policies. Pray that this has helped even a little. God bless.

Seems the police are always up and down that alley why is that? Is there that many criminals loitering robbing stealing and hanging out there?

It is not as bad as many would think the amount supposedly criminal activity by the homeless has been greatly blown out of proportion I sometimes cruise up that alley on my bicycle car or on my motorcycle and what you will see AR people sitting along the wall or on the grass nearby waiting for the cafe that serves food to open all it takes is for one person to do a criminal act and that becomes the perception of all the others. For example years ago there used to be a food truck that would show up near the alley to provide breakfast food for the homeless, but that was quickly discontinued because Anonymous nearby neighbors complain of criminal activity by the homeless which was never confirmed by police, but nearby neighbors put pressure on the city do not allow the food truck to come there anymore which has become a disservice to the homeless community, this only shows how uncompassionate people can really be.

As former staff, Friendship House is a low barrier shelter. As such, we only screen out sex offenders and high grade felons (major aggravated assault, murder, etc)
