House of Ruth Domestic Violence Support Center

Ms. Patrice Skye is always easy to work with when I have my clients matched to house of Ruth. She is very responsive and my clients love interacting with her throughout the process of them being housed. I’m always excited to work with her because you can see she’s passionate and helpful!

I was in the process of getting a protective order and divorce from my narcissistic abusive husband. I made several trips to secure their legal representation. We discussed my case at 8pm the night before my case....I knew then this wasn't going to help. However, I showed up 1 hr earlier than my court time in hopes to cover more detail just to find out 30min before my case is to be heard that they will NOT be representing me after all. I was livid! Consequently, bc of this unprofessional and worthless organization, i lost my case. They are an organization that gets plenty of grant funds but do not uphold their purpose. They are extremely unprofessional, that's if you can get a hold of them. They don't answer the phone and they are in their office maybe 1hr out of the day. Don't waste your time with them, they did not provide any form of care or assistance. Ppl come to this place for fair representation and other resources for the sake of their family well being, They put their trust and hope in this place just to be nothing more than disappointed. This place deserves a -10, & should be renamed as House of Ruthless.

I am a survivor of domestic violence, believe me when i tell you it feels like i'm still in a domestic situation, the only difference is that my face is not busted or bruised. That staff here are truly unprofessional Mrs. Latoya who is supposed to intake young children and mothers in domestic situation stated that i was not good mother for not having my child and that she was a better mother than me and if she were to not have her child she would go crazy. First of all i am truly hurt as a mother not to be with my child second it was not her place to say anything like that to me as her to be in the place of work and third i have to stay sane to get myself together to be with my son again, again These staff are cruel and they try to put us down rather than lift us up because their not in our shoes, and they cant relate to us the case mangers have favorites of who they want to help and not to help my case manger gets upset when i tell her i dont feel she has help me with the things i have asked her to do for me and she states to not ask her at all if she not doing her job. So at this point what do you do? Please don't believe these make believe views and comments you see. I currently stay a house a Ruth pl;ease take my word . The only Person who some what care a little is Mrs. Serteria the program manager. Thats about it.
