This place is great if you're able to get into the program, it's a very limited and stricter program than other shelters. They will allow you to stay in their emergency beds for up to three weeks and three months. The first night of staying here I got wrote up for not turning in my phone. They allow you to get two write ups and after two write ups they are supposed to put you out regardless of your situation. Luckily I've been at this shelter for seven months and I was able to find a job during this time. Today is now February 14, 2025 and I am now currently looking for another place to stay. The program director Iris Wade told me that she was disappointed in me because she feels that I have been in non compliance with the rules of this program and that I always have excuses and that she has done all that she could do, otherwise she would have let me stay a little longer because of my circumstances. I can admit that I received more than one write up and all of the write ups were small situations like (not turning in your phone eating a snack having outside food and drinks having wrinkles in your bed and not getting out of the bed in time after the wake up time at 6 am) Lights go out at ten and you are required to get up and out of the bed by 6:05 no matter what you've done that previous day or what kind of medicine you take (you will get wrote up) (& Let's not mention the arguments between all of the ladies and smart ellect responses and pettiness) All in all I did not receive help to find housing like I thought that I would. (Which was one of the main reasons of wanting to be in this program) I am very disappointed on how my stay is ending. I had high hopes that I would be okay prior to entering the single women's program. My valentine's day and weekend is not so happy but thanks Salvation Army for your help thus far with a place to temporarily stay.
