Review for FESCO, Hayward, CA, USA
This is all about Fesco, This organisation is not helping any body, they want to show in their records how many families they are taking from shelters in a year, this is a kind of activity to get funds from the churches and communities, they are making families again homeless, just keeping families 3 or 4 months or few families 6 months, they wont show any other place to move out, they just sending out families without genuine reasons, they are fully correpted and only staff members tortures families for money and they need to record the testimonials if the families do not want to share their testimonial they will not help any thing, they did help those who gave good opinion about Fesco, they do not have any courtesy, every family is suffering in the house, if we talk each person in the house they will tell their pains and sufferings, staff will not give any respect to the residents, they behaves very rude to the residents, this is like a hell, we never recommend to any family to come here, there is no humanity here,the staff takes everything to their house food cleaning supplies everything, all kind of donations they takes home, donations also they does not leave for the families.

Obviously, FESCO has no control over the opinions posted on Greatnonprofits. It does not and cannot condition services on posting favorable reviews. Reviews are posted under pseudonyms, so we do not know who does and does not post reviews. FESCO's mission is to help homeless families move toward self-sufficiency. While FESCO provides a safe and supportive environment and many resources, it is up to the families themselves to make use of those resources to build better lives. All FESCO residents sign an agreement to follow the house rules that are necessary for successful congregate living, to make regular progress toward their self-sufficiency goals, and to perform agreed chores that are shared with all the families in residence. In fairness to all the residents, if a family repeatedly fails to live up to its agreement, the family is asked to leave in order to make room for another homeless family that will welcome the opportunities FESCO offers. FESCO has a grievance process that enables residents to take their concerns to senior staff, the Board of Directors, and the State Department of Community Services and Development Fair Hearings Office. FESCO’s staff are dedicated professionals who make significant personal sacrifices in order to serve families in need. We are proud of them and believe that the other testimonials on this site about our staff speak for themselves. Nonetheless, as a quality control measure, members of FESCO’s Board of Directors plan to interview residents outside the presence of staff to see if they have concerns or complaints about how they are treated. Cate Steane, Executive Director
