PATH - Los Angeles, California

Lola

I would like to give the biggest shout out to Mr Randy Wirebaugh. I was blessed with the opportunity of being his participant and I am very grateful to God for it. He is God sent. He is a genuinely good human and an awesome case manager. If you have the opportunity to have him as a case manager, know that you are in great hands and that with God's grace, everything will be ok.

A brilliantly bureaucratily, triplicate paperwork, bogged good intention; purposed to solve an immensely large revolving evolving and possibly cyclical epidemic called homelessness, they do well with what resources and staffing they have unfortunately it's less humanely human to human humane than it is a sluggisly moving mass homeless population rehabilitation/control machine that effectively temporarily eradicates pockets of homeless colonial encampment communities for a season or a few. PATH is a working system facilitating multitudes and providing work and or assistance to a large proportion of LA. But just like it takes up village to raise a child and takes an entire city of people to actually eradicate and epidemic such as homelessness if ppl in this city were not such mentally lazy stingy greedy narcissistic upturned lot and worked kindly wiser & smarter not harder to horde monger. Philanthropy is tax deductible period point blank the more you give the more you receive from good ol Uncle Sam. 🎤💨🎰🥶🏆🥽☕☃️

Warning Long Review But Worth The Read:

Grab your popcorn…

Terrible experience with this non profit. I reached out to path, for assistance in finding a home, security deposit assistance, and utility assistance. I needed moving assistance because I can no longer stay at my current residence due to a severe knee injury that I had. I live on the top, third level of an apartment building with no elevator and I am at risk of injuring myself due to my having to use the stairs daily. Everyday I feel pain and physically struggle due to my disabilities and where I am living. At times I cannot walk.

I received an email from “Becky Breda” a specialist there. We were emailing and she told me to call her. Soon as I called her she instantly was aggressive and said I need to pay my own bill, only referring to my utility bill assistance request. She said I need to pay my bill myself because I make enough money. She was yelling at me through the whole conversation. She spoke for me and spoke over me whenever I tried to speak. She was extremely unprofessional and was too aggressive to speak to. I remember asking her “why are you being so hostile towards me?” I had to hang up the phone because I could not get a word in. She kept saying that I received assistance from them last year, but I never did. She kept saying things that weren’t true about me it was very unacceptable. She said, “I work, (referring to herself) I budget, do you budget!”

That conversation was traumatizing. I acted on a grievance with Path due to their employee. What Path decided to do was have there grievance councilor give me a call and have Becky‘s supervisor on the line.

The grievance counselor and Becky’s supervisor just heard me out and said that they will talk to her pretty much. They also said that they will have another employee follow up with me to see if any assistance can be given to me. Another employee reached out to me “Gabriela Valdepena” but had inaccurate information about me as well, however I could correct it this time. She said she would call me back after she gathered some more information. She never called me back.

I reached back out to the grievance department to request that she call me back. Then, she called me back. After we finally spoke again, Gabriela Valdepena told me that I could not be helped with a security deposit. This was the only thing she tried to discuss with me about. She said because I am not homeless or at risk of being homeless.

I told her I am at risk of being injured or possibly passing away due to my living conditions and my injury, so I don’t see how I am not eligible. She ignored what I said and continued to say I am not eligible for assistance. Then she said I can receive the security deposit from my current residence. That was irrelevant information because of course I know that and that’s not going to help me move I need security deposit assistance in order to move now.

After she told me that I cannot be helped with security deposit assistance she tried to end the conversation. I said “Okay, what about the utility assistance?” She said “you cannot be helped with utility assistance because you have to have a loss of income.”

At this point, I knew she was not trying to help me with anything. However, I went ahead and asked one more thing because she ignored discussing that as well, I said can I be helped in finding a home. She said “we can send you leads” I said OK thank you. I’m still waiting for the leads. This was my experience with Path.

Shoot, despite the spelling errors as I wrote this in a rush and pasting it again but under my main google reviewer account especially because u guys know how shady an account with just or two reviews can look.

I originally could have easily given this place one star since I literally was one of the first here since building construction but thank god things have changed. AMAZING Caseworkers (ahem) Stacy you are amazing! NO longer nightmare management. MR. MANAGER You are a bright sight to be seen with your kindness smiles and awesome dogs. Matinence man is a jack of all trades and truly deals with so much and yet still has a great spirit.

SURE dont get it twisted there is a lot of chaos from tenants here but what would you expect given the circumstances and where many come from.

However, where else are you going to find a medical clinic, veteran affairs, counseling center and so much support under essentially one spot.

Plenty of monthly community activitys that are near daily. Community events breakfast and coffee cooking classes bingo etc etc

So much im tired of writing.

Take care,
APT 25.....HA, NOT GIVING OUT THIRD NUMBER BUT WE DO HAVE PLENTY SECURITY TOO

Path doesn't help AT ALL!
I was homeless & had nothing.
They lead u to believe they are going to help u! I was led on & went there many times & to appointments. They led to to believe they'd get me housing. Nope. I ended up at the Weingart on skid row, Weingart was really helpful stayed there & then received section 8 & l moved into The Hayward Manor in DTLA. Screw PATH!👎🏻

Well I have been reaching out to them a few times. With no response just like inter faith. There is a lot of things that I know about but in reality where is the real help. I am posting this picture of one of the true source of nonprofit help programs

What can I say? PATH SUCKS All the 5 star reviewers must work there.
The only thing path cares about is the homeless! "Not" they care about the homless money. I called for 2 months. Didn't get any help, not even a call back!
I went somewhere else for help and that's what I got. I'm so thankful. Don't believe the lie, they got housing. It's just sitting empty.
And if they don't call you back, no work to do today! I wonder where I can get a job like that "Oh I forgot they don't call back" UPDATE 1 YEAR LATER: AFTER I GAVE UP ON PATH I WAS LUCKY TO GET INTO A TINY HOME IN WESTLAKE. I STILL HAVE SAME PHONE # I HAVE STILL NEVER GOTTEN ONE CALL BACK FROM PATH.
I COULDN'T EVEN GUESS HOW MANY TIMES I CALLED THEM BEFORE GIVING UP. SURE I STOPED CALLING THEM BUT DON'T YOU THINK THINK BY NOW THEY WOULD FALLOW UP ON ALL VOICEMAILS I LEFT?
HOW MUCH TAX PAYERS MONEY HAVE THEY GOTTEN Im not going to tell you where to go, but I can tell you where not to waste your time.
God bless to everybody, and a safe journey....

The organization that is focused on solving problems of homeless people. Our society is in deep need of such like organizations and people who care for community. There are a lot of organizations that claim to solve issues of homeless people but actually they focused on making money while pretending to be honest, but the only “honesty” is there greed.
Thank you PATH for helping people and serving community. A+
