Arthur R.

It's up to you. Change can start here. They are helping me find new directions in life. Able to take slower clean bedding ok mattresses. 3 meals and a Excellent case manager. Staff friendly but follows rules to a T! 60 day program. If not willing to commit to rule and curfew please don't waste their time. There is too many people that really need this program.

They don’t care enough to answer the phone or call you back! That says a lot!

Path of life ministry is helpful and caring organization . The family shelter helped me and my daughter have a safe place to stay when I was homeless, I got a job through path of life and a referral for housing , it took for me to just follow the rules and regulations and be determined to end being homeless.i am very thankful for path of life services and staff. I now live in a beautiful luxury apartment, ALL THE HONOR AND GLORY TO GOD FOR BLESSING ME WITH PATH OF LIFE MINISTRY. SINCERELY, MICHELLE

I have never know about these kind of places. Before if it wasn't for the kind support from the Path of Life social workers. Who have made it easier for people like me to find help when out on the streets. To find that they're are others who work everyday to find solutions. In everyday situation with the friendly hospitality that they have done. With all who have found the kind conversation that the misfortunate have come to have. Thank you again for all you have done for us.

I was a resident once and had a great experience. I was able to work at a warehouse near by and save my money. The staff was caring and hard working. They truly only wanted the best for us and where a great example for me. I was able to take this experience and work it to my favor. I found a permanate transitional home for men due to the fact i no longer wanted to be homeless or around any kind of drug environment. Path of Life was the place that opened my eyes to ways of my mistakes.

This place is a travesty for the homeless. It serves a purpose for some but not others, mainly elderly support and handicapped access. There are many Hippa, OSHA, Fire, Building code and First Aid concerns right off the bat.

If you have asthma or breathing concerns, the cleaning solutions and air conditioner filters and dust are a problem when sleeping.

In 2 weeks I never got the care I was promised and never met with my case worker to assist with my issue.

The security treats you like you are in prison and searches your bags each entry. I find it weird that they know what you have before searching you stuff. Weird.

I got kicked out of there for refusing to let the guard search my bag over and over for brief entries and exits. He seems to get joy demeaning people including seniors and starting fights. I refused to let the guard bully me and got kicked out by management without ever meeting with staff for my goals. A big waste of time and resources.

The nutrition is a problem keeping you tired and unmotivated. Corn Dog, chips and sugar water for example. They also refused to serve me food several times so I went hungry. Bummer. The best part is when outside resources bring food in. Its way better than the breakfast for dinner option. Not good at all. Envision cold eggos waffles, hash brown and Luke warm sausages. One guy got sick and threw up in the dorm. Ridiculous.

There is a lot of fighting and tension for the elderly and things go missing at random. Need I say more?

I stayed there for 100 days. Took advantage of the time there finished school and got a job. I was given no assistance with housing. My property was stolen for me made a report there was nothing done about. People using drugs on the property, fighting, etc. It was like a mini skid row.

A sincere, self sacrificing, loving, caring, and professional staff.
