Unity House Domestic Violence Services

It's currently on fire in the city of Troy and now partial roof collapse

I came here looking to get out of my very abusive relationship (that I am still trying to escape), and when I spoke with a case manager I was told I need emergency shelter because of how unsafe my situation is and that it cannot wait. I was supposed to be contacted with all of the information regarding the shelter and spacing etc. I was never contacted and honestly it was my first time reaching out for help besides for when I filed for a protection order and both have done nothing good for me. So I am now even weary of reaching out to any other organizations as it just puts me more at risk for the possibility to not even receive any help.

I came here 7 months pregnant. I filled housing applications for every area in upstate and made an effort to be in safe in my own home within 3-5 months. I was told I as being impatient. Moving too fast and I was condemned for being proactive. My caseworker didn’t like me along questions about the process and they ego tripped off telling multiple pregnant victims of do that we’d be there for a year or more SHAME ON THEM. I amongst many other pregnant women left and went where we would be valued. I was placed on that waitlist and they have made ZERO efforts to advocate for me and my infant. She’s 7 months now. I am still not in a home. Shame on them. Chris, Lisa, and their supervisor. Who allows it
