Faith House Child Development Center

A New Leaf provides such amazing, important services to people in need. I highly recommend supporting them!

Impossible to get a hold of. It states you can call for rental assistance from 2 to 3 on Thursday’s but it only lets you call until 2:30. If you actually have someone answer the phone they give you no time to get all the paperwork you need to get help. My family had to get an important paper for DES and the lady only gave until the next to get it which was impossible. It shouldn’t be this hard to get help. I have been trying to call to get another appointment for two weeks with no help. It’s sad that they made it this hard to get help, especially when you are about to lose your home. Very disappointed. I pray no one loses their home hoping for help from this place, that’s what is about to happen to my family.

I was placed at Phoenix Bridge at the old sleep Inn. I was only there for 2 weeks, but what a nightmare. The first day I was there I was walked in on while I was dressing, a week later was told my partner "stinks" and everyone thinks so, so they will kick us out. Then after two weeks, this same, young, African American man knocks on my door and we say we're here, but that was not good enough, he had to knock again and make sure we opened the door wide so he could see in the room, but that wasn't good enough, he stuck his foot in my door and got in my face in a threatening manor and yelled at me, saying I'm lucky he doesn't just go up in my room. He then comes back with two officers and most of the staff to kick us out in 110 degree heat for 3 days for no reason. I had two little dogs and when we were out on the sidewalk, we asked for water which they refused. Because one on my dogs was recovering from an illness, he overheated and died from this interaction. They knock on your door 4X a day and sometimes there are knocks and no one is there. I think they are messing with your head. They kept saying it's part of the program, but never could quite figure out what the program was, except maybe to break your spirit. Absolutely horrendous organization. I could go on and on.

false sense of hope for support or help......better off going to an emergency room and pray a social worker there to see and maybe not too over-worked to hear needs and help!

It's not that they wouldn't have helped. It's that they had so many questions that I got scared. Either you are there to help or you're not. How about get us to safety first. Not all of us have thirty minutes to answer your questions. Now, since he stole my car too, I and my daughter are seperated and I'm sleeping on the light rail when I'm allowed to. He's still stalking me too. All these resources are always too full too. I can't get help anywhere. I'm sure many others don't have this problem but I do and it isn't a good feeling knowing you're alone and your daughter misses you. If there's room please let me know. I miss my little girl and I was told that it would be easier to get housing if I overdosed or was actively using or in jail. None of those are an option for me at the time. Who knows? Any more of this "help" and I may be soon.
