Suzanne Larrabee rated 5 4 months ago All I really know about the Shelter is they work hard to keep people, who are experiencing homelessness off the street and get them into housing, despite all the issues a person may be having. God bless all the workers! |

Douglas Hanson rated 3 7 months ago Comfy mattress even if it is on the floor. Lol it's warm at least. I got a new apartment that I move into Monday. But it's nice to know there's places out there like this. I never would have known about homeless shelters if my sisters weren't showing me tough love. They won't even allow me to stay At my dad's place. I guess everything happens for a reason. Lol |
Jordan Levasseur rated 1 2 years ago Worst place in the world to find yourself with kids! I found myself without a home during winter & went to this Waterville shelter which claimed to be a family shelter! When we arrived it had single adults on one side of the building & families on the other! We were forced to sleep with our room door open & weren't permitted to shut it ever even during the day! Myself & my 3 small children ages 1, 2 & 7 were given a room to share with 1 other mother & her 2 kids in a 10×10 room! The picture in their website is not a room that they place people in! We were treated like 2nd class citizens due to our homelessness by the management named Betty! I was forced by Betty to put my sleeping baby in a pack n play in front if a very cold window in our room as opposed to her being placed next to my bed. The room reached temperatures of 48°-57° each night! The Waterville Fire Department even told the manager=Betty that the baby wasn't safe near the window but that didn't matter to her! I wasn't even allowed to hang a blanket to shield my napping children's eyes from the sun which I learned by Betty barging in my room unannounced just to rip the blanket down! After 3 months every single person who stayed there came down with a terrible sickness which caused severe diarrhea & vomiting for 7-9 days straight.. Some of the other families I learned had been staying there for 9-11 months & some left to live on the streets because of our living conditions! Case managers did nothing to communicate with other agencies about available rentals and after 3 months & 3 weeks of craziness & very little sleep I took it upon myself to call around to different housing & rental agencies to try & find a way out when I finally I reached out to the Brunswick Family shelter & they gave me the number to Brunswick Housing Authority because the caseworker from Brunswick Family Shelter told me I was on a waiting list thru them! So I called the Brunswick Housing Authority & was immediately told that they had tried to reach me thru the Waterville Shelter because I was moved to the head of the list to receive a voucher for housing! So they did nothing but give me a room to lay my children down at night but caused some serious trauma for all that stayed there! The worst part was Betty & the helpless feelings she purposefully made us feel due to our homelessness! The only ok part about staying there was the overnight staff which felt compassion for us ended up putting up a sliding partition wall to separate the adult singles from us on the family side! No housing was found with their help! Thankfully I called Brunswick Family shelter! Myself & 2 of my 3 children will never forget the trauma & judgment of that horrible Shelter! |
