I only had 10 days and they knew that By a miracle, I was able to secure housing. It's frightening to go through this kind of thing. I hope others have better luck than I did going forward.

I have been a 'customer' of Montgomery Street Inn and Julian Steet Inn and while they did provide me with some shelter and some food I found them to be profoundly flawed and dangerous. Today I am living a great life far away from both but I got here in spite of them ... Not with their help. Today the San Jose Mercury News reports a fatal stabbing at Julian Street Inn, the supposedly safer mental health facility down the street ... A FATAL STABBING AT A "SAFE AND SOBER PLACE!" I am delighted to be far, far away both literally and figuratively. Go there if you need to eat but don't drink the Kool-Aid.

They were in the news for having their own internal issues and may not get funding from the county due to their inability to assist the homeless. I would not even try to get them to help in San Jose. We need a task force and better planning from the Governor, Mayor and County to get anything done to get people out of the rivers, ponds and streets. Our government is failing us so how can we expect nonprofits to get anything done either?

That's how stupidly thin they are. They have a program called New Start. It's basically work for the homeless people at the shelter but they don't get paid, have to work 8 hours ever day (no day off). And the privileges they get because of New Start doesn't add up to the work they put in daily. The Case workers they assign and give to the homeless people don't give them many resources and often times tell the homeless person what to do once and then never meet with them unless asked to. No regular meetings. Social Workers are meant to meet you once every week. I have photographic proof ofSpoiled food they give too. The workers all seem like they work there just for money and not to help other human beings who are struggling to get by. It's so inhumane and cruel and the Home First homeless shelter (2011 Little Orchard St, San Jose, CA 95125) is the one I'm writing about. My friend lives there and often tells me about these things and I've went with them to see and I've seen horrible things from this place.

Simply told that that "didn't look good for me" and I moved on because ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I didn't have a guilty conscience for something I didn't do. I told them they could thoroughly search me and my belongings considering I didn't own so much as a lighter. I guess that wasnt good enough because a few days later I was told that a member of the board had moved to have me evicted. With no real evidence whatsoever. That's what you get for being honest with these people. False accusations and threats to be put out on your butt. And from what another woman living there told me I'm far from the first person to have that happen. And all of this within not even a full week of me staying there. I didn't stick around to see what else could possibly go wrong living there, I packed up my stuff, left, and moved in with the father of my child with whom my relationship is incredibly strained, because I had no other options The woman who live there are lovely, and even the staff themselves conducts themselves in a friendly manner, but if you have any skeletons in your closet whatsoever, be prepared to be treated like a criminal and probably be the first one to be accused if anything happens.

However, some polyester/viscose jackets and coats were priced over $15 for no reason. Even high-end luxury designers, such as pre-owned Louis Vuitton purses and Manolo Blahnik heels that were locked in a glass case, were sold for $60-$80, so you needed to ask an associate to open them to try them on. There were only three dressing rooms available near the shoe section, but they were dim and messy with hangers inside. Don't let it close completely after you're done because it locks from the outside. You had to find an associate to unlock them or wait for your turn for 30 minutes. Overall, it was less smelly than Fremont, spacious, and the associates were friendly at checkout. I come here for cute ladies' clothing that are priced $5-8.
