My name is Keshia Moaton. I have been employed with Bobby E. Wright and Healthcare Alternatives…read moreSystems for over 10 years serving our communities and supporting folks in need of housing support, substance Abuse Issues as well as MI. I also work with the Women'.s Justice Institute.. The point I am making is, I have always tried to make a difference helping others. I am system Impacted, I do struggle with a MI and I am in need of support myself! Just yesterday my employer (Bobby E. Wright) informed the employees that we will not be paid on October 31st due to financial hardships within the agency. This happened right before the first of the month when Rent is due! So, my friend and colleague Ms. Colette Payne who is the Director of the Women's Justice Institute told me about A Safe Haven having a Housing Program which is working in the same building as WJI. She explained to me the entire process, she sent me a list of acceptable documents that will be needed and she had Dyanna Winchester (WJI Employee)to escort me to the office down the hall. Dyanna Winchester gave my application to a woman named Amanda ??? who then looked up at me after reviewing all of my documents and stated "Now all you need is a crisis plan". I was confused at first, but being that I am a Certified Professional I said to her, What would that look like? Because clearly I am in crisis, if I had the answers and a plan why am I here? She went on to say " I can't submit your application without a plan as to how you will pay your rent next month". I said to her, I do not know, I am trying to work on getting this month paid so that I do not become HOMELESS AGAIN!!!!!! She said that I could bring her an Offer Letter!! I then stated for what, I am not looking for another job, I am currently employed, we are not getting paid! I provided the letter from the CEO of Bobby E. Wright along with a direct line so she could contact her. I also said to AMANDA, If I had a plan and knew what things would be looking like next month I would not need help! I also asked AMANDA Do she know for sure if she would be sitting in that chair next month submitting applications. Of course she could not answer me. She outright REFUSED to submit my application, she talked down to me as though this was my fault, also she never tried offering me other resources or anything like that. She refused to give me her supervisors name. She appeared racist and Bias to me!!! DO NOT TRUST A SAFE HAVEN EMPLOYEE AMANDA TO HELP YOU!!!!! WICKED , HEARTLESS, AND NO COMPASSION!!!!!!!!!

Otherwise, the management team here is worthless as they only care about their little power trip, and that causes the staff to act the same way because management treats staff like shit, and then staff takes it out of the residence. Otherwise the place is backwards as can be, will implement a policy that makes no sense just to give them the impression of control, when residents and staff call out policy, the residents get threaten with being put out on the streets, and staff get hours cut and or wrote up.

I then asked to speak to the supervisor Janne Boblick, to let them know how frustrating it was to get them all the required paperwork for them to just close out my case. She hung up on my mid sentence. I called back and she hung up on me a second time. Way to dehumanize someone in the middle of a life emergency.
