I had to get out of there because to many drug addicted there they didn’t do shit for me worst case workers it’s the worst shelter ever !!!!!!!!!!!!! I wouldn’t even give it a one star no stars at all !!!! I called see if can mail my insulin they said no I need my insulin it’s a Thousand dollars for I don’t have that kinda money this shelter doesn’t give a shit about a person health!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not as friendly and helpful as I thought it would be I had a bad experience and in part my fault but you would think that they would not only understand and know how to deal with/navigate with more compassion and knowledge of what to expect or say and do to create the "safe " place they are basically "selling" and I just felt completely as if excluded and even scolded for being already traumatized and slightly broken already not knowing what to do while not knowing anyone I felt very alone and even more alone there it was very cold and uncomfortable at many times, someone even stole my blanket at one point so I felt not only unwanted I felt almost shamed or like slightly bullied well not bullied but teased I guess that's not the best way to describe it but it's difficult to do. I felt more comfortable in my car like that was what I became used to and I often fell asleep in the parking at ycc just in my car I always felt like I was a burden or just in the way it felt as tho I was not a guest more like a chore. I literally had no idea what they wanted me to do as far as expecting me to know where I was even going when I needed to take the dog outside to potty, I felt as tho they changed managements in the middle of my stay and I was basically abandoned and left to fend for my self and I was told they can't help me because I felt better in my car in the parking lot I felt as tho maybe there should have been a better more encouraging manner in which this while situation should have been addressed i feel like o failee yet again and can't do even that right, sheesh! I just feel as tho favoritism and a lot of mis management or turn around as far as staff making it very hard to follow or keep up with anyone and there specific cases and progress or possibly I could have been more open and asked for help but I felt already as though I was asking too much or in the way already since my dog didn't like the vents that are located all along the floors In all the halls that it made it hard to even walk down the hall with him he was so scared, I felt like I was an outcast or even a loser at times when I thought that place was there to be the exact opposite way and help transition us back I to a more normal way or be able to become better equipped to handle situations and things of that manner and I just wish things went differently them they did, I was basically told sorry we can't help you instead of trying to possibly figure out why I felt better sleeping In My car than inside the building? I know I should have tried harder to be better or more what they wanted me to be but I honestly was just depressed I didn't feel like doing much of anything, I know hiding a being more reclusive is not the right strategy but I felt so alone, I still do. I hope they have figured out a more permanent staff and or way of getting all the information passed on fully to the next employee so they know everything they need to to now manage the new case they are responsible for. But I had really high hopes and heard really good things about the place I was and still am I little disappointed and basically bummed it did not work out with a happy ending like I was looking for. Congrats to the ones it did work out well for I'm happy they got into a place and we're able to better their lives productively and learn and grow happier.

We've stayed here for a period of time a decade ago; have received since then assistance in some programs offered. I appreciate that there is a community of individuals whom desire to help support the vulnerable. I hope to see more growth and supports from individuals of the community to help programs like the Family Promise of Ogden, YCC, and Safe Harbor. Thanks YCC
