Very nice place. Praying my baby girl gets I. Soon before her son is born. She needs the guidance. Jeremy is a blessing to help us as well.
My son and I stayed there a year ago, they are great, keeping in mind that they have some more stringent rules like needing to be there most nights and in for the night by 9 unless working or prior arrangements have been made, they do this because it's the best way to benefit the people who are, and really want to be and their children. Every family has their own little room which was so appreciated, I had pictured a big room with a bunch of bunk beds in it, not the case, but it is ceiling less (in the sanctuary of a old church) so care must be taken to most practical extent possible to be respectful with conversations, and lights on/noise make at night when most are sleeping not to disturb them, but earplugs go A LONG WAYS at night or give it a week or 2 to adjust to people snoring/coughing/babies crying.
I still tell everyone how Hope and Summer said this place isn't safe. I'm glad I found a home, and the shelter I went to afterwards was so kind and helpful. I felt so bad for the employees there because there were some who were thinking they may be there next too. It's been a few years, but I still think about how they told a 12 year old that there shelter was not safe and I don't want anyone to go there, go somewhere different, go somewhere safe.
Friendly and caring supportive Day center for homeless
This place is so awesome for family to come cook food, do laundry, and they give you the washer pods and the dryer sheets! kids can play inside or outside if the weather is nice.
