CAPSA

As a CAPSA Board Member I can attest that CAPSA’s survivor advocacy, counseling, support, shelter, and social work is life changing; I have witnessed them in action. They pour their hearts and souls into supporting all survivors, and work to improve the resources available to propel survivors forward in their recovery and journey. Lastly, I understand CAPSA’s regulatory limitations to respond to individuals receiving services; if they do not respond to complaints publicly, like Google,, it’s because they cannot. They are committed to excellence.

Hello ! I am very grateful to Capsa for the help they have given me. Thanks to this organization, I no longer have to suffer abuse from my ex-husband. The only thing I didn't like was that I have to pay a month's rent without living in the house, because they were putting pressure on me in my new apartment, and also in capsa, they don't care about your situation, if you have money or not to get out I know it's temporary, but sometimes our situation as a single mother, a lot of things happen, I had to pay $2,300 for my new apartment and I told the CAPSA staff that I was only going to stay in the house for 8 days and they still charged me for it full month, although it will only be 3 days at the house, anyway, thank you very much, but I would like you to be a little more considerate 🥺 Finally, they told me that they were going to give me the deposit, they did not give it to me, they accused me that they found the smell of methamphetamines, a drug that I do not even know and they did not give me evidence of that nor did they let me see it, I feel that they put the health of my children and myself. I never knew if it was true or not.

CAPSA housing was traumatizing. My full review is on Facebook if you can find it. Basically if you are in a minority, don't expect them to treat you well. I would have been better off with a traditional apartment, not capsa housing. The people in charge of that are catty, they gaslit me, found every reason to complain, and we're constantly doing inspections and treating my non-white neighbors like criminals. Refused to help with mice until I filed a complaint and even then just set up snap traps instead of filling the holes from outside which is how they got in, in the first place. The landlord in particular is the worst about retaliation. I now have more trauma than when I first went into it and even though they are taking 100% of my deposit, I am relieved to finally be out of there. There's so much more to my story but Google won't let me post it all. I'd rather be homeless than ever seek capsa's help ever again.
