I am 7 months pregnant, (also recently diagnosed by a psychologist with autism spectrum disorder…read morelevel one, ptsd, generalized anxiety disorder and adhd presentation combined) stayed here a little over 90 days and was kicked out on October 10th. Kim the director I was fond of at first and then she switched, and called me a bathroom Nazi even though the bathrooms were at first assigned to certain rooms and someone kept wiping feces on the rug and walls, breaking the toilet seat and just not being mindful and I had an issue with it because they assigned me more often than not to clean the restroom nightly for my chore. told me i needed to get used to communal living. Then told me "no wonder why youre family doesnt want you around and why the father of your baby fights with you, you are a problem and no one wants you around. You make the women here uncomfortable." One thats wrong because i have mental health issues and thats discrimination and harmful and harassment. And two i was friends with everyone except for one black woman after she misconstrued my words about me telling her she needed to not tell this one woman what she should be doing with her money because she found it offensive then wanted to talk to house moms about it and asked me to come for moral support and I got bitched at for coming with her and got told to leave. Kept getting "x's" for apparently missing or being late to groups. When i wasnt. Id have to go in circles to have my case manager to look back at cameras and even then the house moms would take days to fix their mistake. That black woman as well kicked me in the back when i was cleaning air vent at bottom of stairs and i told staff (house moms) and they told me "accidents happen" They have on website that they help with transitional housing one in fact, the case manager told me that she could not help me with housing could only recommend places and aside from that they were shitty shelters that she recommended or that wouldn't accept me because of how far along I was in my pregnancy I was about five months at the time. The groups were fantastic though especially the art teacher. And i loved Jules (house mom) she was an angel. As well as Alexis (house mom) and Nurse Keri. One of The House Mom's Jackie walked away from me mid conversation after I was explaining to her that originally she told us that the dinner tour had to be done by 6:30 and then changed it last minute when I was already out out of the house getting pizza from somewhere and she said that she shouted it upstairs That I should've known, even though I wasn't there and it wasn't past curfew and she gave me an X for it. I brought it up to my case manager, and she told me basically that Jackie was pregnant and that I just needed to not mind how she was with her moods. Meanwhile, everybody else in the house was pregnant and not allowed to act like that. They have favorites with some of the women that go into the shelter and then other women they completely disregard and pushed the side and Try to always do things to make them feel less than and not help. Bring them up. You are also not allowed to get a job there until after three months of you being there but after three months, have you been there most of the time they kick you out and you do not get moved over to parenting and again they do not help with transitional housing so you basically have to figure out where to go or you're on the street. Luckily, I had some time to try to figure something out for myself, but aside from that this program is misleading and money hungry do not donate to here and do not go to their thrift store. You're basically funding people to get Harleys And nice clothes and cars, and not actually funding a foundation that is trying to help pregnant homeless women. Alex, the therapist was also great and so is Shannon the other Therapist. Aside from that, I would not recommend Casa Teresa

Thus, repairs, basic, essential services like pest control and plumbing issues routinely took a week to several months to resolve while apparently he negotiated prices for work orders. And they took as much as NINETEEN MONTHS to be fulfilled! Myself having worked in the apartment leasing industry at up to 400 unit complexes, have NEVER seen such lengthy neglect to provide service to the tenants and the physical apartment issues! The rental business is firstly a PEOPLE business, which people pay rent to the landlord in order to lease the unit premises. Further, KM also stole a total of $85,000 from two tenants while I was there or shortly before. They SHOWED me their boxes of many receipts. Each of them and other tenants had pending or considered lawsuits against KM and the property management company and AFH. After I left, one of them sent me several messages in extensive detail articulating that KM quickly threw some things into his pickup and drove away before law enforcement (sheriffs) could arrest him. (Ironically, he had been accepted into the LAPD academy. But I don't think he's there now. Do you? Lol). And he at 6'4", 350-400 lbs. he was an intimidating bully, and yielded his physicality very readily, including an assault upon me, for which I am considering a lawsuit for intentional infliction of emotional distress. However, I do feel sorry for the tenants who remained who may have lost their apartment homes due to the apparently epic shake up after the collapse of the then landlord's ownership. Had I more choices, I would have avoided Casa Paloma Apartments as I was told to do on my third day there by an elderly couple as they exited.

After I have looked more in depth at American family housing I find it there are people who are…read morethankful for them for what they have done for them but these people have dealt with American family housing 3 years ago some longer management has changed the atmosphere amongst the people have changed within the employees and management staff and not for the better. I've spoken with employees who will rename name this for fear of losing their jobs and I have been told that the organization itself was about doing good for those in need helping those get stable housing get their feet back on the ground get gainful employment with a roof over their head but if you notice I had used the word was American family housing was at one point doing all they can for those in need and the key word there is was they are no longer that many families will what come forth and say so as well the living conditions that they are having to live in some said that it's inhabitable but they stay because they have no other options nor the resources for help the funding that these type of places receive is enormous with only about 30% of their funding received as being used for the purpose that's been given for so where does the rest go the other 70% I'll tell you where it goes It goes in the pockets of those in higher positions within American family housing it goes in their bank accounts to their enormous houses luxurious cars very expensive business lunches and so on sooner or later someone will recognize American family housing for what they are and that is selfish greedy and what I would call opportunistic they jump on the opportunity to get funding donations whatever you could think of at the misfortune of those in need and those people who are in need they accept what they're giving because it's more than what they had they don't see the fact that they could be getting so much more to help their daily lives become better so they take what they can get and accept it because they don't want to lose what they have now they don't want every percussion to fall back on them for speaking out the truth on what they deal with with American family housing. I encourage anyone reading this interview and other interviews about American family housing to not take my word for this do not take the word of others who left reviews who have filed complaints who have given negative feedback or even positive in that matter but to look at it yourself and see what is there and what American family housing is really all about I will tell you it's not about the community and those in need it's about the bank accounts of those higher up it's about the bottom dollar.

I donated the items, and each time they gave me the standard tax exemption forms. I plan to head there sometime soon to donate clothing. Hope it will again be a good experience. If its not, I will come back here to share.

I went here once for a women's open meeting and this is my experience. The group is large, easily…read moremore than 100 people. Most of the meeting time was taken up by those taking milestone chips and telling their stories. This left about 15 minutes for open discussion. I witnessed several people in the meeting who were still clearly using, and in fact high during the meeting. I would say this can provide some kind of "fear factor," but I really found it triggering and it made me want to pick up. I never went back. I appreciate the resources they provide to the community, but for myself I had to find another meeting to feel more comfortable.

I struggled writing this review, but I feel it's important. I had two run-ins with Robin Rush, and…read moreafter the first, I wrote a complaint but didn't send it, hoping things would improve. After the second, I realized this was a pattern, and after reading other reviews, I saw it wasn't just me. To those who spoke up before: thank you. Your honesty helped me see my experience wasn't isolated. Because of your reviews and my own documentation, I was able to present the truth to the court and received another extension even after being told I had no options left. I'll take responsibility for not securing my extension properly... that was on me. But the way Robin handled it was unnecessarily harsh. What could've been resolved with simple communication turned into a cycle of criticism and disrespect. She accused me of being "lazy," "not working," and "needing to be told to keep busy," all of which are false. To clarify: once, she saw me on my phone after eight hours of work, texting my partner I'd be home soon. Another time, her son saw me talking to two volunteers on our scheduled break. Besides those two, no staff member ever implied I wasn't working. In fact, I was respected by the rest of the team and praised for my effort. Even in disagreement, I remained polite and respectful. I apologized after our initial misunderstanding, which she ignored. She once raised her voice at me in front of staff completely uncalled for. She also slammed a paper down and slid it across the counter toward me with an irritated, "What's this? This means nothing to me," before I could even explain. It wasn't a violent throw, but it was aggressive and unnecessary. I stayed calm. At that time, she even confused me with someone else, insisting I had "argued" with her over text when no such exchange existed. When I later read a reviewer's comment about Robin throwing a purse at them, I believed it instantly! I'd seen that same temperament myself. At one point, when I opened up about feeling overwhelmed, hoping for understanding, she told me to stop with my "sob story" and sent a screenshot of a helpline. No empathy, no concern, just dismissal. No one working in recovery or service should ever say that to someone struggling. People come for help, not humiliation. The last time we spoke, I mentioned her staff's early closures made me short an hour on my timesheet. Her response: "That's not my problem." Those words said everything. I've since learned others had the same experience. One reviewer said Robin told him "everyone was complaining about him," the exact thing she told me. That pattern matters. When a person in authority tells struggling people they're the problem, even when they're trying, it's not just unkind, it's damaging. For those seeking recovery or structure, that kind of treatment can push them further from healing. To be fair, what Robin does for the community, food distribution, recovery meetings, community service is good work. But compassion and communication are just as vital. She may run programs, but she lacks the empathy those in recovery truly need. Ironically, this experience became a blessing in disguise. My new site, a church, welcomed me with warmth and patience. They even told me if I'm ever short on hours, they'll work with me. That's the spirit of service that changes lives. Robin often speaks of being close to God, but my experience with her was the opposite of Christ-like compassion. "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." -- Ephesians 4:32 To anyone volunteering, completing service, or attending meetings here do so with awareness. This organization's mission is admirable, but its leadership needs reflection. A person can feed bodies and still starve spirits. I sincerely hope Robin one day understands the power her words/actions have and chooses to use them to heal rather than harm.
