Review for Operation New Hope, Jacksonville, FL, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

I thought I already typed this. But somehow it is no longer on here.
This program was VERY VERY DISAPPOINTING!
I was approached while incarcerated about this program and wanted to succeed and thought it would benefit me to participate.
I wanted to change my life for the better!
I was told I would receive 4 months of transitional housing. That changed after I completed the program.
I was put in a transitional house by ONH where I was watched on camera and listened to on audio and called incessantly via phone by the “house manager”. And when I told the “house manager “ it made me uncomfortable, the locks were changed and my personal belongings were not returned. Then ONH put me in a different transitional house that was rampant with drugs. Not conducive to a person who wants to change their life!
I was promised 4 months of transitional housing. I got only 2. Spent in class. So I had nothing saved towards my own place.
I did not get help with finding employment. I found my own.
Then was told I’d receive a stipend after 90 days of employment. That did not happen.
No 90 day stipend.
I did my part. But ONH did not do what they said they would.
I think it’s a shame that non profit organizations receive a sizeable amount of funding per person and then do not do what they told the client they would. Where does the funding go if not to help the client the way it should?
I really believed if I did the work ONH would provide what they stated they would.

People should be aware that they will not get the housing or stipends or assistance they were told they would from this program.

And if this review somehow vanishes as well. I will repost. I will find other avenues to get the word out to potential clients.

I don’t want anyone else to be misinformed.
