You definitely have to be in with the in crowd to stay longer if necessary. I've seen multiple people leave and come back within the same month but Brandi and Pam insisted that this was no option for me and that me having Tarot cards was a huge issue after weeks of her seeing me have tarot out. Also I must add while Pam tells me during a conversation that she practices the occult and studies "the darkness". In a faith based program this is okay to do but not use spirituality for me at least. I appreciate the program for giving me a place to rest and food to eat and I know everyone is not like them here, I'm sure if I would've asked someone else they would have made a way. I Thank you but I wish for shelters with more workers(heros) that don't scheme but accommodate maybe then they wouldn't be worried about people using spirituality. Love

I'm a woman coming from a lot of roller coasting situations. I have been coming here off and on for about 3 years. I finally got a long term program. I really don't associate with anyone. I observe and mind my business. The long term program requirement is simple I completed it within 2 weeks of beginning. I just have one con about it, asking for help but they don't know a lot of the time or it's ask this person or ask another and stagnant silence. I struggle with multiple mental emotional infractions, I had to prove it to make true. If I didn't I wouldn't be able to stay. I'm being sorta pushed to go see a therapist,which I've done many times before being here, as well as medication pushing. I struggled with an addictive; been sober 5 years cold turkey. I don't feel my mental emotional traumas are a factor for me to have my own home or keep shelter as they say "WE CAN HELP YOU JUST DO WHAT WE ASK AND TELL YOU". I Don't Understand THIS AT ALL. I like some of the employees but not all. They try but I feel they can do better. I'm thankful that I have a roof over my daughter and I. I'm just not understanding the medical pushing for housing.

This is the worse place I've ever been. You are lucky to get an inch of instant oatmeal in a paper cup. and a cup of coffee every morning, no butter sugar nothing. The woman who gets us up is mean. She wakes everyone up at 6am, the serves breakfast at 730am. She singled my sister out because my sister was in line 1st. She sent my sister to the back of the line 4 times . My sister just got on the elevator after being humiliated in front of everyone here. We haven't had breakfast since then. That's not even the half of it. They gave us a paper cup with left over rice,beans and cut up hot dogs that were yellow left over from the night before it was so dried up I couldn't eat it. We had to get water from the bathroom sink. The staff got bottled water. Thec3rd shift staff woman who's namevis Keyonna, banged on the door while I was in the shower, I got out wrapped my towel around me opened the door she screamed at me WHY ARE YOU IN THE SHOWER? I asked her if this was a jail, or a shelter, she yelled at me she threatened to put me in jail. She could do that if she wanted, because the day before, she put a woman in jail, because the woman was tired.
