HOUSE OF HOPE

This place treats people like if we were jail inmates, this is my first time coming here & I've been here for almost a year, sadly I've been seeing the injustice this people do with the residents, they take their power unjustly, they don't care about the pressure u the needy feel, this is not going to stay this way, as a Christian that I am! Place that I enter place that gets confronted from the authority of authorities Jesus Christ & when he shows up, there's no but's or it's!!!! Augh!!!🥴🥴🥴 JUST WANT TO ADD ITS GETTING WORSE!!!... Adding something else, the words I had spoken as a prophet of the most high GOD is coming to pass, no lie! New personal is taking over the foley house & I'm praying for new case workers to be sent here, who HEAR ME OUT! Will do their job accordingly, no more hehe, haha it's working time, question have been asked, proof has been seen, I thank the Lord up above for what he is doing! No man(speaking in general) can't stop what GOD is about to do, so farewell to all who took their job position as servants to manipulators, emotional abusers & bullied supporters, GID is in the Foley house, GOD Is in the midst & he is doing a new thing hallelujah 🙌🏼 thank u Jesus 🙏🏼 nobody can't stop GOD!!!...

Im here now and this place is a joke, majority of the monitors are cool with me . The BREAKFAST is a tease , and a joke and we are not able to eat anything except the food they give us . Dinner is done early so we starve and cant wait till breakfast which starts at 6:00am to be dissapointed at the two pieces of toast , a minature tangerine, a large coffee most mornings. We cant eat outside food on property or in house. Lights out at 11pm , they are loud when they go into the houses at 3am talking loud , laughing, the rules are always changing .I wonder if coorporate knows about how this facilty is maintained

If you’re thinking of staying here, consider that grand theft auto and sleeping in prison for the next 15 years is better. They don’t let you have ANYTHING at all. They want you to be completely dependent on them, no food, no snacks, no drinks. They have uninhabitable living conditions, and they are discriminatory against anyone who is transgender. They’ll throw out gay people before they throw out the real problem people, treat everyone like trash, and don’t work with you on anything. Everything is a fight with them down to if you can have a shower or not. You’ll spend your whole life here and never get housing. They gatekeep like mad, and don’t tell you anything until the last possible minute or until you’re already doing something wrong, then act like you should know better. I’ve been told I have a right to receive any services I need for free, and the only thing I got was certification of homelessness. I was promised a copy of my rights and the contract I signed, never got it. I asked to file a grievance, and they said they’re out of papers and to take a picture of the VOALA number and complain. When I did, they retaliated for my complaint and transferred me out. Horrible place to stay.

This place is terrible. They force you to be dependent on them. Then, they abuse their power. I was here and/Awakenings for almost a year. I was just transferred to another homeless program (Thank God) but, today I learn that I had a housing voucher! Months ago! But, my caseworker didn’t know what she was doing, and lost it for me! Someone needs to do an investigation on them. The rules were constantly changing, daily, which made for a very unstable environment. You never knew when a rule had been changed, until you broke the new rule and were quickly reprimanded. Example - the curfew was 10pm and you also had to be out of the shower at 10pm. So, I would come in around 9pm (for nearly a year.) One day they changed to rule to “must be out of the shower by 9pm” when I came in at my regular time (around 9pm) I was told I was unable to shower due to the new rule. This is disgusting. I showered anyways, and the monitor came into the apartment and was banging on the bathroom door, screaming! Asking me if I was in the shower. She proceeded to beat on the door and scream for like 5 min. And, from then on monitors would come into the apartment and beat on the door and yell to see if anyone was in the sz shower after 9pm. Monitors could never make a decision on their own. They were always unsure of everything, and constantly had to call their supervisor, Jackie. It was ridiculous. This environment isn’t stable at all, very controlling and doesn’t encourage people to better themselves at all. You are at the mercy for all of your needs, and become dependent. One of the monitors, Jennifer, bragged about how clients are always calling to come back.. I’m not sure why Jennifer thought this was a flex, because the goal is for people to be independent.

I was there and gone before my blackout period however well on my way to my own place in order to have something work for us we have to put in work if you get to this place or any place and you want to sit and wait its not going to happen. I was able to have my dog with me they have meal times, ( you can not have your own food but they do have vending machines),group sessions and much more... This place is what you make it! They had movie nights and special activities for the women on holidays, at least that's how it was when I was there. It was a shelter for homeless women. Some of the staff was very helpful and some wasnt. You take what you can, give what you can then you will become all that you can. I left Foley house in 2019 to my own studio, where I lived with my husband 4 years. Until he passed. Still the discipline and self worth has stayed. I recently moved into a one bed room home, its hard work but no one is going to do it for me. Foley house provided what I needed it was up to me to use what I could to achieve my goals and I did today I am grateful that places like this exsist! Forever grateful Foley house ~Irma Rivera
