Unfortunately, they also tend to delete comments and reviews on both their Google and Facebook pages that are negative towards them. It's unfortunate that a church does this, but if you look up the news about this church, they have a long history of making bad choices in the community. It's also a shame that they get tax benefits and breaks and take up such a large amount of land while passing the costs on to the citizens via taxes, despite their behaviors.

awful experience. I was homeless due to unfortunate circumstances and had to stay here for a few…read moreweeks. Me and my mother entered our room and were exhausted. We sat on the bed to rest only to see a BED BUG crawling on our blanket. My mom moved the bed to check the back and found an insane amount of both dead/old/and alive bed bugs everywhere, on the bed, bed frame, the wall, the floor, it was INFESTED. We called staff for help so we can get situated in a different room, ONE staff member was there to help. He cleaned up the sheets/bed/mattress and apologized. We got put into a different room around an hour later. Paranoid the whole night thinking every speck was another bed bug, so we had to go out to buy bug spray and spray around areas. According to my mom, the staff had spoken to her and were blaming us and saying we apparently brought them in. We were getting dirty looks from both staff and other residents because of the STAFF gossiping. YOU WORK IN A SHELTER, I'd think they wouldn't be so judgmental but here we are. WE did NOT bring in the bed bugs, they looked to have been there for super long, THEY LOOKED OLD. There were brown areas with dead bugs/bedbugs combined with alive ones. I hate to say it but we may have even been the cleanest/most hygienic ones there, but we didn't judge a single person despite them judging us for something we didn't even cause. Due to there being bedbugs I had left both my blanket and plushie/pillow that meant a lot to me (if you don't have much, little things mean a lot) on the bed because they said they'd disinfect it and give it back, just in case it had been infected. They NEVER RETURNED it. I never got my plushie back from them nor did I get my blanket back. They did not throw it away, they had their shed open one day and I saw it clear as day, they lied to me. Life was already tough and they made everyday more miserable. When we stood up for ourselves, they then begin to blame the previous residents that stayed in that room, saying they were "gross" and weren't very hygienic. Quit judging people in bad situations, get a different job, don't make other people miserable just because you are. The place is crowded and the staff don't seem to be keeping up with cleaning. They depend on the chores they give residents instead of taking responsibility and doing their job.
