My Nonprofit Reviews

Three reviews 16 months ago not one review since. This is not what it appears to be. I needed help..a second chance so to speak. None of that was to be had..not for me anyway. I did my research to see if this organization would be a great fIt. The website spoke of empowerment and life skills, job readiness and caring mentors whom are available to assist you with problems to include social and transportation in making and setting appointments. I thought that I'm on my way and this organization was going to help me because they really cared. None of that is true. This organization houses up to 8 residents in a run down house in a undesirable part of town. You can't just walk up and say that you're homeless. You must be referred by a primary organization and you need to be between the ages of 18-24! The "mentors" they hire come out of a pool of workers thru the local welfare office. All they do is clean clean clean and cook one meal (dinner) a day. A second meal is cooked on weekends. Monday thru Friday we needed to be out of the house by 930am and do not return until 4pm. Rat invested with rats freely running about, leaving their feces within the pots and pans and food along with black mold under the kitchen sink, holes in walls, doors that don't fit or lock and workers who are available if you wake them up. There were a few good ones while I was there...trying to make it better, but the owner always stopped any improvements they were trying to incorporate. I was told my meds were not logged in and when the worker went for intake paperwork every residents file was placed together. I asked about an ROI A RELEASE OF INFORMATION) they had no clue as to what I meant. I don't know if this is the only area that Ms Johnson operates (from her phone) regardless of its one or 10 DBH and county guidelines need to be followed and they are not at all. Place needs to be shut down. Bring in a homeless shelter that does what it promises to do. Empowerment my behind. It's only helping the ones at the top.
