I don’t usually leave reviews, but because of the unprofessionalism, bias, and ego-driven personalities I experienced, I feel compelled to share this as a safeguard for others. If you are truly in an emergency and looking for help, please be aware: although this nonprofit has funding, they may not actually help you. Instead, you may end up frustrated. It appears that assistance is given selectively—perhaps to people they want to help—rather than equitably or fairly. While they speak about policies and procedures, in practice those standards don’t seem to be applied consistently. It makes me question how they are still receiving funding, given that the money does not appear to be distributed in a way that truly helps the broader community during challenging times.

It's now what, 5 hrs and until Child and family protective services, an outsourced 'entity' NJ gives to non federal nor state companies... After being told I had extended stay for hotel until I could look and be provided government housing... However, this 'Outside entity' has gone dark and has not gotten back to me in several days. My hotel stay was originally scheduled to end this Tuesday, is about to happen.. Living in a hotel; which until a week ago following the 2 wks prior when my best friend paid. The domestic violence incident occurred and I knew I couldn't stay with him until getting housing. As of today starting, nearly 2 years since the 'state agency' of CPS... I now get left with no answer from this outsourced entity with no obligation to follow through. Even better, now this affects how our 'state' agency' will determine whether my daughter will be safe and with her mother. The very state forced this entanglement with the non governing agency, which is truly a clusterfork system. Why? Well, because this independent company that pays for the Those - 'state's decided individuals who are worthy of such assistance because the endangered homeless mother and child are worth saving, nevermind any human or ethical policy Below is the playground for kids.. if you went right, you would find yourself on a highly traveled highway, great for a motel where ppl like me are put as like a hold over.

After going through a hardship I reached out to them multiple times I sent an email, multiple messages without success I spoke to someone and they stated never got any of my emails or messages I gave them the benefit of the doubt and did it again without any response 3 months later still I reached out elsewhere and got the support I needed. These programs are supposed to be here to help when in need I have never had to deal with this until now We all go through unexpected hardships and it’s hard to ask for help when you are not use to do so . My question is what is there purpose?

This place SUCKS! They do not help you I have had no heat for 2 weeks and have been sent in circles and I am right back where I started. Employees answer the phone and have no idea what they are talking about and give information that is incorrect, They do not care about people struggling due to the crooked government! They should be ashamed of themselves
