Alternatives For Girls

5 weeks since doing multiple intakes and not one person has called back with any help, just more intakes. a complete waste of time.

Terrible place. I use to be in their program and they treated us terribly! Dirty rooms, BUGS, rude staff, and a lot of people kept getting sick too. I remember one time I asked the staff for food because they hadn’t fed us yet and she gave me some fruit snacks. I’m so glad I made it out, DON’T LIVE HERE!

They let girls harass you for weeks even though you cry to them multiple times asking for help they do nothing then when the girl tries to fight you outside (even when u called the police on her already) they going to call the police and get you put out and say you tried to jump on her … 1/10 don’t recommend I rather live in my car

I went to google to find shelters in Detroit to donate clothes. Bags of nice clothes. I called them and a lady answered, I told her I have two questions for her, in mid sentence about the bag of clothes, she cut me off and transferred me. I called back because I never finished my questions, I was forwarded to the general mailbox. A shame, because the girls/women will miss out because of a rude operator. I couldn’t reach anyone. If your rude to someone through the phone I could only imagine how you treat people in person.

This place is and was the best thing that happened to me. They was there for me when I had no one. Taught me a lot of great things, had some very amazing experiences and met some awesome people. Truly a great place if you are motivated to change your situation.

boooooooo tomato’s!!! Don’t stay here very unsanitary!

im asking my mom if i can go to a girls home wish me luck!
