Seattle's Union Gospel Mission: Men's Shelter — Local services in Seattle

It would be 5. The link program is full and I have a job and is drug free. I'm on a waiting list, i was upset when i was told there were no spots left. Guys that have been there over there 6mo to a year time are still there. I just don't think it's fair to the ones that are working and drug free to wait on people who get an extended stay and not working to get themselves out of homelessness. There are people who are in the link program that aren't doing anything no job just helping out. Now I have to fill out late slips to come in late because I work evenings. All in all I'm blessed to have a job and God has a plan for me. He sees my struggle and will never put more on me than I can bare I'll be patintewith it because i know that he will work things out for me. A positive I'm not on the streets mission please help.me out I'm a good guy that fell...

I'm going to post any hate, or anger towards them. But I must say certain policies, people in charge, and overall staff lacks actual experience. Most, if not all, staff have gone through the program themselves. Which to me was very prevelant.

They lack experience to take care of those who have real issues and pose a threat to the others.

They feel they know better than doctors and won't except those on certain prescribed medications.

It was a very sad to see how things were run, how people who were actually trying to get straight were treated. I give this place a D-.

Get real experienced counselors in there. hold them accuntable, communicate with your staff daily, communicate with the people there. Hope about some real effort and consideration, and that would be good...

The UGM is a scam.. Those people should be ashamed of themselves.. Telling people they help the homeless.. What I saw was a bunch of unmotivated people at the desk.. It smelled like ass and feet throughout the whole building.. Outside all I saw were drug dealers lined up drinking and smoking weed trying to sell harder drugs to addicts. It's a joke down there. I wouldn't stay 1 night in that place!! And if you donate to this place I suggest you reconsider.. They already receive part of your taxes every year due to their Gov't funding. If you think I'm beefing this review up go see that dump for yourself!! There are way better places in Seattle.. 211 is the # you want to dial.. That will give you all the info for shelters...
