I stayed here for over 2 weeks with 2 kids, and these ppl never offered me laundry. I sat for over!! 2 weeks!! With the same 1 pair of dirty pair of socks on!! And they cant even help with that. Just try to never be homeless,once you are your as good as DEAD! NOONE WILL HELP YOU.

I wanted to say that the Santa Maria Shelter has helped me in my most difficult of time and being honest with them has opened doors for me and those like myself who are truly trying to get their lives back together. I thank them and the community members and businesses who go out of their busy lives to help those in need like myself. I am truly grateful and appreciative. THANK YOU :)

Nicole was an absolute monster. I remember how she treated me so bad and how I was starved for a couple of weeks I have photos of my shelf being empty and everyone else having food and I remember there is one day that one of the ladies at the Shelter offered to get me some food cause she saw that my cubby was empty, and Nicole was disgusting enough to say something in a group meeting saying that people were panhandling for food I was never panhandling for food. I was starving and someone Me, Food Nicole is a monster. Do not donate to the shelter at all. They’re disgusting.

Well I am thankful for the opportunity they have given a loved one of mine a chance to have a place to sleep inside instead of outside but i am disappointed that they did not connect him with mental health services or addiction services or any housing services!! I was like a caregiver to this loved one annd helped him seek services only to be disappointed by Good Sam shelter. After 3 months, they told him his time was up and he went back on the streets and was told not to come back for a year. If the connection to helpful services was made, he could have had a better chance at recovery and ended the homelessness/ mentally lost situation he has been in. Please connect each client to those services!!! I think there needs to be some sort of accountability on how they are handling the services they are supposed to provide.

Staff is unprofessional at best, malicious and petty at worst. Even the "good" staff members discriminate against or look down upon homeless people. April in particular really enjoys condescending to clients, and cannot be trusted to complete the simplest requests without first disrespecting the client. If you have any accomodations needed, not only will they not be met(after you try to get approved before hand) but you will also be talked to as though you are worthless. Case managers are even worse. Yolanda shows no professional attitude: she either acts as your best friend or talks to you like a middle school bully. Janie is useless and incompetent, and frequently issues notices to clients with incorrect or outdated information and typos. All of them make false promises on housing opportunities and show no sympathy when those promises fall through. But if the client doesn't deliver on their "promises" they will not be understanding because: They do not care, at all, about homeless people.

It's degradation and pretty much prison for families. RUN don't walk out of there. 1 out of 30 may actually get help from staff here. You have a better chance, educating yourself, getting your life organized, and frankly coughing up money that life will demand from you. I've gotten on my feet 2x in 5 years. Completely crazy circumstances can happen to ANYONE. There's various paths to a roof over your head and not all work for everyone. Don't count on these ppl, they're demeaning and will make you feel worse for just being there. Good luck.
