Was here for like 8 months and all I can say is God is good. They help me so much for the time I was there. I know everything is not the same for everybody but I have only good things to say about the people running this place and their team. 🙏🏻💙💙. Being respectful, patient and sticking to the plan to bettering yourself goes a long way.
This place is inhumane. There is no AC and it so hot that my baby keep opening the fridge. No elevator No laundry room This place is horrible. How do they expect people with kids to live like this!???! One plus-The staff is nice
I love my stay in this shelter. I've been here for 4 months and the experience is great. Miss Gray and Miss Britney are the best. Very friendly and loving. They make you feel like you belong and like you have a family. They do their best to help. The security guards are friendly too.
I was in this shelter with my daughter this past June and this was not my first shelter experience but best by far. Im grateful for all the staff including security to maintain and social services Department. My case worker was miss Gray and i was treated the same way i treated her. She has a very kind heart and special love for all the children. She was understanding to all our needs and concerns always. She was straight forward about what she needed to do as well as what i needed to do about exiting the shelter into to our new home. I did what she said if not more and in less then for months me and my daughter are finally in our own apartment and grateful for all the love we received from woodruff family residence staff and all of Brooklyn. I have read reviews and i highly disagree with negative comments on any current staff member employed there. No matter where you are in life and what you do you will be treated the way you treat people and as far as the roaches are concerned that's anywhere you go i worked in restaurants and dined in the best steak house guess what they got roaches too so buy some raid and move forward with your priorities. I was in a shelter infested with mice i did what i had to do and moved on. I wanted to thank everyone for being so caring and not only did i get a home we gain some really wonderful strong woman as friends for ever. Much love from the polinskie girls.
My family first came here 22 years ago today, it was February 22, 2000 when we arrived late at night just before midnight. We was on the 1st floor and the unit was small, so we have to spilt up to another unit on the same floor. To me it was not temporary, we were only there for 3 weeks. Until being transfered to another shelter in the same neighborhood that I grew up here. It was a complete 360 even though it was right next to Brownsville. Other than that they have help us as much as they possibly could. One of my favorite activity book that was provided involving a character named max. It was about a boy who is also in the family shelter. It has some good illustrations but it was informative saying what to expect at the family shelter. I keep it long after we left, but up until around 2003 I lost it, I really want to read that book again. Overall the surroundings was mostly quiet the whole time we were there.
Yes this is a shelter. A couples shelter that is ran under the most disrespectful personnel I have ever known. These people dont play fare at all knowing that others lively hood are at stake. Your just a case to them, nothing more or less. And its best to stay in good graces of the workers while you are there or they will retaliate.
