Review for Good News Rescue Mission, Redding, CA, USA
Two stars for providing food and shelter, but at a VERY HIGH COST INTELLECTUALY AND MORALLY. I am a six month resident, three month volunteer with videos, photos, text messages and witnesses to prove or support EVERY CLAIM. First responder services are called daily, sometimes multiple times a day to address the many health issues faced by clients. The police are called at least weekly for violence or to TRESPASS a client the staff find challenging, but other than that they COVER UP as much crime and leave things unreported intentionally in an attempt to increase their reputation and ratings ensure Job Security and prevent closure or MUCH NEEDED REPLACEMENT PROGRAMS or change of management and owner/operators. Staff make their own rules, that they DO NOT follow and disregard laws. They have a strict no weapons policy, but then the ex-con CEO Jonathan Anderson walks around with a knife and has let others use it; CONFLICT OF INTERESTS- bethel cult and GNRM board member whom wanders the grounds and gives tours, Mimi Moseley owns and advertises her wine bar/brewery, while a portion of the shelter is a drug/ALCOHOL recovery program. David Schott, the convicted addict, elder abuser, and ransom kidnapper calls the shots, claiming different rooms as his own(his shared office with some colleagues that have seniority was not enough, he prints labels an claims the security room as "Schotts SPOT" and then later clears out a client Medical wing housing unit to become his own individual and NEWEST office) telling his bosses and coworkers what to do, while he openly smokes his VAPE(an item not allowed) and putting his hands on a mentally handicapped TEEN(the boys therapist called to make a complaint and seems nothing was done) as recently as 2 months ago, then having a 'holier than thou/do as I say, not as I do/HYPOCRITE attitude toward others that defend themselves against misbehaved, unattended, teens, tweens, and adult attackers or that partake in vaping. Former client turned staff James Lynch, tried to purchase a vape from a female client and when the client decided not to sell it to him, she was "NO SERVICES" kicked out for "STAFF MANIPULATION" with her five year old ward in toe. Former staff Frakie Lomeli had a brief romantic entanglement with the same prior female client. RAMPANT NEPITISM- at least four different, mostly unmarried, couples worked together as staff in the last 4 months, most having very unprofessionally met in the program or as clients. Another staff was let go after an 18 year old female client reported him and turned in his text conversations when she felt safe enough to do so after finding housing alternatives and she was not the first he had messaged and attempted to seduce with the previous client being a 21 year old female with severe handicaps, behavior problems, and drug addictions. Current staff Mary Jensen was S assaulted multiple times on film by an elderly disabled Native American man. The client repeatedly exposed his genitals and when unnoticed or ignored he poked/hit her with his genitalia, which lead to her running away crying and the same client was shortly allowed back, while others with no or less serious infractions remained 'NO SEVICES". No report was made, no police contacted for this s-crime although at least 4 senior staff, 1 programmer, and 1 guest had viewed and someone possibly copied this clip. Another client, Steven Clark Alfrey Jr. abused medication and alcohol and walked to a bench area filled with women and children and exposed himself before urinating in front of them only to not be reported to police and eventually allowed back again, while a crippled elderly woman that could not make it to the restroom is currently kicked out "no serviced" for relieving herself outdoors. Nearly the entire staff made of of convicts and addicts drunk with newly seeming power have a very my way or the highway attitude and report to no one (No grievance policy or outside oversight, only inside self reviews of incident reports that always find in their favor and at no fault while proven that they will lie to clear themselves). Multiple staff of this supposed NonProfit, tax-exempt facility continuously violating the "Johnson Amendment". FRAUDULENT, and nonstop ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES. Daily criminal activity and s-crimes. On average ~3 males masturbate in open dorms per night and even when staff are notified with proof, it goes unreported to authorities, rarely punished or even addressed. This is roughly only 1/3 of my allegations and complaints against the mission staff.
A homeless shelter is needed, but changes need to be made. I suggest the city/state/Nation/unitedWay/Habitat for humanity TAKE OVER operations because the current pushed agenda is not Humanitarian-FIRST and that is what is needed.
