My complaint is how long it takes for them to call back when you give the phone number because you have questions. I called and it gave me a wait of 2 hours. That's fine, I called in the middle of the day. It has now been 4 hours and I am still waiting. I try to call to see what is going on, but now it is "high volume calls. Cannot take yours at this time." I get being understaffed and how it's also Friday, etc. But, this is ridiculous.

Overall, everyone was welcoming, and aside from the long wait and the crowds, our visit went very well.If you're deciding whether to visit the office in Santa Ana or the one in Garden Grove, I definitely recommend going to the Garden Grove office

I had an amazing experience working with Tech Sergeant Perry. From day one, he genuinely wanted…read moreevery single one of us to succeed. He went above and beyond by organizing training days to help prepare us for boot camp and making sure we felt confident and ready for what was ahead. He was always on top of our recruiting process, ensuring we stayed on track and understood each step along the way. Anytime we needed advice, guidance, or assistance, he welcomed us with open arms and never hesitated to help. Even though I ultimately did not move forward with the process, I truly appreciate all of his efforts, dedication, and support. He made a positive impact, and I'm grateful for everything he's done.

However, the process was actually not that bad - I was in and out in about 20 mins. The office itself was very clean - one of the cleanest, well kept SSA offices I've been to. My least favorite about this trip was the waiting to be called part, but once called, it was all smooth sailing. And honestly, I think you're all with me on that one: nobody likes the waiting part. Anyways, a nice office to go to if you have any SSA needs. Just don't forget to book your appointment beforehand!

I am grateful for the very simplified process to make an appointment. I love the efficiency of the entire team here, including the two absolutely stellar, sharp. approachable and very helpful armed security guards on the 5th floor. A special thank you to the very nice guard downstairs who held the main door open for me. I really appreciate Miss W's assistance with helping me get a physical & duplicate social security card plus explaining and printing out my Social Security Delayed Retirement Credits( DRC) as I am 68, have not availed of my Full Security benefits at my FRA - full retirement age and loving getting that 8 percent increase every year.

It's because of the parent. But in general if you talk to these people be honest with them they want to help you. My situation i can't help that i can't afford a place for myself and my daughter. I am in a struggle finding a home.

IN MY OPINION, do not go to Orange County Children and Family Services Office on Eckhoff Street in…read moreOrange if you want to ADOPT. Reunification (reuniting a child with his previously addicted, absent or abusive parents) is EVERYTHING. Because they make that a priority, they have a HUGE need for foster parents, and almost no need at all for adoptive parents. BUT THEY WON'T TELL YOU THAT. As you go through the PRIDE courses (an acronym), they will treat the foster parents like gods, and the adoptive parents like dirt. Our assigned social worker continued the abuse in our own home. My spouse and I were stunned. We complained to her supervisor, and nothing was done. We took our complaints (almost) all the way to the top (we were prevented from speaking to anyone with any real power) and the dumb-bunny social workers -- when told by us to tell prospective parents that adoptive parents are not needed (or wanted), said, "Well, then everybody will drop out!" We said, "That's the idea! That's their right." They refused, and will (presumably) "boil-the frog," meaning: abuse you until you switch to being a foster parent, or leave in disgust. Forewarned is forearmed. MAKE them tell you in the PRIDE class just how many children are up for adoption (it is OFTEN less than fifty). MAKE your assigned social worker treat you with respect. If she doesn't, document EVERYTHING, and throw her out of your home. I gave it three stars so my review won't be demoted.

Luckily i was getting paid from IHSS to take care of my brother and he received SSI. we struggled with paying roughly $3000 per month and technically we never were "under the stars" homeless. The illumination foundation promised to pay for our move in. Finding a place to accept us was very difficult due to previous evictions and criminal record not to mention a poor credit score. The illumination foundation sent us to apply for multiple apartments to no avail. i provided every document requested and we still were not approved- We received the encouragement to keep trying but i assure you, it was difficult. i found a back house recently by posting an ad looking for work as a caregiver. the person who hired me to work rented me a beautiful back house and didnt scrutinize my life and past. the illumination foundation is paying for the deposit ( $3000) my paycheck doubled when i got the second job. it is very satisfying when you can pat yourself on the back for finding a nice place to live. thank you for paying my deposit and for not making me so reliant upon you
