Oh yes, you might get an EBT card, some bus tokens, gift cards for dds discounts and the dollar store. When pressed, they will provide you, literally, with a tent and a sleeping bag, which I have yet to open. But that is it! They are not going to give you any money or a loan of any. They aren't going to give you any housing, because, they claim, they have none to give. They will refer you to the homeless hotline, another fraud, for a referral to a shelter. If you call you will never get a shelter bed and they will never call you back, just another dead end. I could on ad infinitum. Truthfully, I was just being kind, because that is my nature, I try to see the good and overlook the bad. In actuality, they are an abomination and a fraud. The simpering propaganda on their website offends one's sensibilities. The imperious and condescending and haughty conduct and tone of some of their staff is truly comical and laughable in view of the fact that they produce absolutely nothing while sloping at the public trough. It is beyond disgusting one can only hope that there is a special place in hell.

I think what really needed to improve in this place is the cleanliness. The toilets were not super clean and the interior looked scary.

Parking was easy to find and if there is none, there's also street parking.

If you are going to other hospitals then you are pretty much prone to not getting the right treatment for whatever ailment you have if you are on medi-cal or low income. If you are in need of mental health services, good luck finding a good therapist because they do nothing. ERs are so bad in SCC because there is a lack of regulation and agency. If you go to the ERs with little to no wait time, the doctors there are not as experienced as the ones at Valley Medical. This county is doing nothing to make sure people get the proper care they need. Sure the public health leader is good but she puts very little care on the experience of doctors and long wait times at Valley Medical. If you are living in this county, I recommend you move or remain with Kaiser if you can

So I've never felt inclined to write a review for anyone before unless they were extraordinary or…read moregreat. Today, things have changed. Today the Employment Development Department has frustrated me enough to want to go in here and most likely other places to spread my awful opinion of my last few interactions with them. I was recently unemployed and have filed for Unemployment. I was then pushed back due to issues with my ID, so I went through the proper channels and sent in everything that they requested. This took 2 weeks of time, multiple submissions, multiple payments for mail, and multiple calls. Finally, I called and received the notification that I was approved on July 28th. I started the settlement on the 13th. This is my first time filing for unemployment so I did not completely understand what was needed to qualify and to stay qualified (turning in certifications of proof of me looking for work). Because I started the application on the 13th, that is when they start the certification review process, NOT the day you are approved. So when I began filling out the certification form online, they are asking me if I looked for work between the two weeks of July 13th - the 26th. Again, I had only been notified that I was approved on the 28th nor did I know that this was a requirement. I said no, I wasn't looking for work, I was solely focused on the rigorous process of turning in all my paperwork for the ID correction process to be approved in the first place from the weeks of the 13th to the 26th, until I got confirmation of my approval. So now I am disqualified for unemployment and the last person I talked to from EDD to ask about my confusion in regards the disqualification, told me that it is what it is and hung up on me and told me that I have everything I need when I still had a hand full of questions. I personally feel like the EDD department makes it very difficult on purpose to successfully apply for unemployment. The less people who apply successfully, the more time and money they save. Sure, they could have faster ways of exchanging information or submitting required documents like email, or through their website. But no, everything is required via mail. Or they could have helpful employees at the other end of the line who could help you understand why the process is the way it is but instead they have people who hang up on you. Not to say every employee in the EDD department is bad, I have had decent interactions with a few of them but my last 3 interactions have been dreadful and this last one felt like the final straw. It almost feels like making it difficult is part of their job so people lose the will and motivation to apply, reapply, and receive what I thought was what people who were facing unemployment are supposed to receive. Anyway, this is my first time filing for unemployment so what do I know, but this was not a good time. I will continue to apply and fight through the nonsense that is the Employment Development Department. For the EDD employee that hung up on me, I hope one day you become unemployed just so you can fully understand how it feels to be on the other end, apply for unemployment and it be frustratingly difficult for you to successfully do so. But then eventually land on your feet and ultimately have a pretty successful life. Other than that, I wish you no harm. Just an obstacle to help you maybe relate or empathize in the future to the people I believe you're supposed to help.
