Hudson Guild Elliott Center — Local services in New York

Hudson Guild held a pop up shop for the community on 12/14/2022 around 3pm. My child and I stood on the line for 25 to 30 minutes possibly more in frigid temperatures. Obviously, tenants of the neighborhood young and old were there to shop for items courtesy of guild. Onc indoors they said everyone have a seat. Daisy, staff directing tenants of neighborhood asked if everyone signed in. There were no signs indicating guest can only participate with invite only. In otherwords, anyone walked and picked out 8 items as per staff Daisy. I proceeded to pick out items and was rushed out room. When I went home I noticed I had 6 items instead of 8. Went back to guild and waited on line patiently to bring discrepancy to Diasy attention. She rudely asked if I was there earlier from another room. I said yes and indicated out of 8 items I retrieved 6 and was it possible to get the 2 items. She said I can't do that for you. Tis the season for people not to be understanding and for them to react disrespectful. Her reply was inappropriate and distasteful. As people and as a community we have to do better. For starters, respect and dignity goes a long way. Hudson Guild is a community center for tenants in the neighborhood that is known to assist tenants in the neighborhood who live here. Instead their representative, Daisy makes families feel they shouldn't be there. Happy, not too happy holiday courtesy of Daisy dressed in the wrong Santa helper suit. Instead she should've wore a grim...

Hudson Guild had helped me so enormously, words fail. Without my mental health counseling and fantastic team of people helping & advising me on filing for Social Security Disability, I would have drowned in a sea of confusion! My current experience with the counselor assigned to me is PHENOMENAL! I believe I am blessed to find a real pro in the area of Cognitive behavioral science. Their psychiatrist team is mediocre. I was able to get the medications necessary for my mental health issues but no real understanding of the complexity of symptoms I suffer from, including addiction & alcoholism. They do NOT specialize in this important area. So I recommend that you keep it simple with this psychiatrist team. Hence the 4-star rating. Otherwise it's a FIVE STAR quality Center for the Chelsea neighborhood.

The facility is GREAT! There are programs for seniors (many activities, meals on the premises, counseling) plus tons of stuff for kids. There is a gym of sorts but I haven't seen it up close. People of ALL ethnicities are helped here. I see older Spanish guys happily playing dominos, kids of different ages coming for after school, Chinese ladies & gentleman doing crafts. There's Bingo. People seem HAPPY to be there. I don't know how they are funded, but maybe you could try and get involved on this level or just apply for what you need! I hope this helps...
