So I've been here almost 2 weeks at the insight shelter in Emeryville. I have had no one approach me about housing help or no one has helped me with information to get started with a housing search. I have no counselor to talk to about day to day issues. When I approach the director of the program to talk and get helpful ideas she's on her phone the whole five minutes she tries to offer me but she's answering text or she draws out what she needs to communicate on her office wall. My next issue was the bed begs I got this weekend July 3 2023. As facts remain a woman was brought in and she came from a hotel infested with bed bugs. She was placed in the bed I was giving first. But moved to the bed next to me due to roommate issues. That night I noticed a huge red spot on her leg near her knee before I went to bed. The next day for some strange reason the woman asked to be moved again. I moved in June 21st. I was bit a few times but never in the 3's like bed bug bites so I figured it was another type of bug since it's a shelter. So I ignored it and kept living. July 2nd I got 3 bites on my hand. My issue with the bed bugs was the unprofessionalism of staff handling the issue. My biggest problem was the evening of July 1st staff knew about the bed bug and left and went home knowing about the issue. It was one staff member who did her job and helped that whole day Sunday with the bed bug issue on her own, but it was drama and gossip. I just want others to know what is really going on her because this place needs to be ran through with a fine tooth comb due to all this unprofessionalism. The problem now this woman has moved beds in a shelter 3 times and none of her belongings are being washed and sprayed with bed bug repellant nor has her clothes been in a hot dryer either. I want to discuss other issues like no hot food until 6pm everyday, but honestly I don't think the bed bugs are gone yet!!!
