Ever since Allison took over as manager of the women's shelter, it's been a disaster at best. She is not qualified to run a shelter. Too much of her time is spent schmoozing with "upper management ", her focus is not of the shelter situations, concerns and things that matter to the shelter as a whole.

Food is ok but could be better with variety, ability to take food/snacks with you would be nice . Staff ... 👎🏻👎🏻 Staff like who they want to like and then some, overnight staff is ridiculously rude and confrontational... Don't step on their toes or they'll kick you out 💯

This organization is struggling to retain employees and when you speak up it goes in one ear and out the other. There is a mistreatment of guests and if you watch carefully you can see that there is a disconnect between the people who work here as well as those who run the organization. There is so many flaws and a 5 page list of cons that could be presented about this organization. The CEO is new and seems to worry more about the perception of the organization rather them building the very foundation that this organization was built upon.

I was accepted to the shelter after living in my car for awhile. I have to say... I almost prefer living in my car over this shelter. The "rules" of this place are outrageous. They demand to know very private information. They decide when, what, and where you can eat. There are only certain times you are permitted in the building. You have to give up all control of your medications. You are not allowed to bring in ANY outside food. They monitor and limit what clothes and toiletries you can bring into the shelter. I was told by a staff member that if I prayed harder, God would protect me. This place maintains a seriously conservative Christian point of view. During my time at the shelter, there was a woman who was transitioning into a man... although "he" had female organs, he preferred to go by male pronouns (he, his, him)... but the staff- including the director refused to respect his wishes. It was said that he had been treated with respect and accepted as a person... even though the staff continued to say he was a woman... using female pronouns. In my opinion, that is not respect or acceptance... it is prejudice and closed-mindedness. I would not reccommend this shelter. But when there are no other options, sometimes you have to compromise your own values and humble yourself in order to have a roof over your head, food to eat, and available showers. But if you do end up staying at this shelter, be aware that they are invasive and controlling... making an already difficult time even harder.
