The worst experience Ive ever had the workers would belittle you and make you feel lower than you already where.and they force you to give them a cut of your money and say it was for savings to get a place once you where out but would harass you to the point you couldnt handle it and they would just keep all your money that was saved up.this place is one of the biggest scams that pretends to be good.

This place is horrible that lady Cheryl treated me and my family horribly my son got food poisoning and couldn't eat for several days and she told me I couldn't make him anything different because it wasn't fair to the other families so my son went hungry for 2 days cause we weren't aloud to give him anything different. Also the local Walmart donates soaps and good for the families and Cheryl would pick and chose of what she wanted and would leave the things she didn't want for the families. I was told that I was living a lavish lifestyle I couldn't afford and was told I shouldn't have the car I had if I was homeless but let's not forget people don't chose to be homeless it just happens sometimes I was told if I didn't have to be there then why was I SMH it was a horrible stay but let me tell you ALEX she was amazing she's the sweetest most loving person in that entire shelter she helped me get thru alot of those hard days and stressful nights at that horrible place she made it easy to be there when she was working. This so called religion based place isn't so holy when you see the movement behind those closed doors they discriminate and make you feel like a low life good for nothing person... and it's like you can never catch a break in that place I would NEVER recommend this stay to anyone it was a nightmare. The only good thing that I got out of this place was the friendships I found with some of the families I met but other than that it's true what one of the other comments said they will lie,decive and do what they can to keep other people in and kick others out it's crazy if I ever were to hit hard times like that again I would definitely be better off staying in my car for sure but thank the good lord those extremely stressful nights and long days are past us now. If I could just put a zero star I would.

I was so grateful to stay here! I got out of an abusive marriage and didn't have anywhere to go. You had to do what they asked which was a breeze after what we went though. I only stayed a month, but the first night we were there they found out it was my daughter's birthday the day before and they threw a birthday party at the last minute. My daughter was so happy. They also added a snack in between breakfast and lunch because my kids and the other family that moved in would get hungry in between breakfast and lunch while we were there. They let us visit when my dad came from out of state as well. I also loved the room set up and the bedding. They had a TV and toys and books in the living room. I stayed friends with some of the people I met there before moving to Coachella Valley and getting my own place in Palm Springs.
