If you have stayed in this shelter, how was your stay?

User Answers

  1. It was a bad experience. They force you to attend religious services even if you aren't Christian. Many people including myself got sick when I was there. They didn't take covid seriously and moved beds close together. Everyone got sick.

Do you have any advice for those wanting to stay at this shelter?

User Answers

  1. Stay away. They don't want to help you, they want to convert you to their religion. You must attend church every night no matter your beliefs. They don't take covid seriously and were irresponsible taking care of the homeless. They moved beds close together and we started getting sick. They don't care about anyone.
