Living with friends might be better than living here. I remember being rushed signing a lease. Lorna (I think the property manager, I can’t remember) is liked by some people, but she was the rudest most unprofessional woman there. She made me so uncomfortable. I remember I never had a set appointment time as I told Frankie I was coming after work without a set schedule, but that it would for sure be before 5:00 pm. She made a rude comment when I got there about being late..... umm nobody even gave you a time so what was she even talking about ?? I was there at 4:30 maybe a little earlier. That was the first red flag. When discussing me moving in I was promised they would help me find parking since they only offer parking for STAFF that WORK there. So at my apartment building downtown, they prioritize their staff over people who actually live there. I’m not giving up my car as I had to live in it at one point. I literally had to pay for street parking every day. They never helped me figure out parking and said I needed to figure it out myself after I signed the lease. I was only allowed to park there from 5pm-8am, which they later changed their minds and said 7pm-8am. One morning I woke up late by accident, LORNA CALLED THE TOWING COMPANY AND HAD MY CAR REMOVED AT 8:12 AM. She didn’t call, didn’t come to my door and ask that I move it, she just did it. Knowing I’m already struggling with my life to be there in the first place. She was always a horrible woman to me. I really don’t know how she’s able to act like that and remain an employee.

Also get ready to deal with 3 other people you might not like. Music all night long, crazy roommates, relationship drama between everyone there. And COCKROACHES. I remember waking up one time in the night to my roommate boiling chemicals on the stove, she locked her door and the apartment was smoked out. My other roommate slept downstairs and I slept in a spare room used for therapy, sleeping on a bench since it was so smoked out.

BTW, good luck having any guests over literally ever.

I don’t have much good to say about this place. It LOOKS nice, but it’s...

Definitely some fraud going on with the assistance and caseworkers and from the previous person’s review about them being banned for following up about assistance they applied for..? Yeah that solidified it for me. They say 30-40 days for the payment to come through but the first time I applied it never came and I got ghosted by that caseworker. so this year I tried again on a whim and it’s now reaching 40 days and my case worker has ghosted me once again; She does not respond to emails when I try to follow up in any way. Fraud fraud fraud I will be seeking legal guidance because the first time I applied, I received a letter of guarantee but the payment was never received. The letter of guarantee is a legal obligation. There’s no way there isn’t fraud going on...

a mecca of hope for homeless adolescents. The institute will provide basic needs, and as your bond with the order grows, they will find you affordable housing to gradually find yourself a place in this society. Insider sources tell me there is approximately only a 36 percent success rate of teens, but hey not everyone is going to climb out of the cesspool and depravity of life. Check it out if god forbid something catastrophic happened in your life leaving you in shambles without the bare necessities Of existence.
