This organization took over the shelter in Pompano Beach and it was for the worse. Part of the program requires you to save your money and they are to supply everything you need including food. If you work during the day your only option for breakfast and lunch is to take a bag lunch which contains a stale peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a bag of potato chips. Usually for dinner they serve raw under cooked meat. The cafeteria is infested with flies. The staff has their favorite clients and those clients can break all the rules they want to and stay as long as they want to. The dorms are supposed to be closed during the day 8am-4pm unless you have a day pass to sleep. To have a day pass you must work at night or have a medical reason to stay inside. Some people get to stay inside the dorm all day and night out of favoritism while others such as senior citizens have to sit outside in the 90 degree heat. Some clients smoke drugs and cigarettes inside the dorm bathrooms and get away with it even after being caught by staff. The air-conditioning doesn't work half of the time in which the dorms reach temperatures well over 100 degrees. The showers are usually extremely hot and unbearable to use. The laundry room only has a few working washers and dryers for 200 people to share. If you work it can take over 4 hours to wash one load. Depending on your case manager and favoritism you can stay as long as you want with no progression or you can be discharged with no hesitation. There are a few hard working staff members that take the job seriously and actually enforce the rules and address your needs and concerns. For the most part they just play with their phones milking the clock for a check.
You don't have to consider yourself necessarily homeless after being here because you have all the amenities that the homeless don't have. Like on site library, gym, job coach, a bed to lay your head and 3 meals per day. Also a clothing pantry if you need clothing. This is more like a temporary home sort of speak to help you establish a new start a new home of your own after your time expires here. I'd say it's a blessing that a place like Broward Partnership exhist so I'm grateful to have the opportunity to get off the streets and into a safe haven to better myself. This place gives you strength but not doing the right thing here can weaken you quicker than allowing the support to intervene..
Paid for tickets to attend an event last night and let me tell you the worst time. I don't mind supporting a cause but let the donation be worth the cause. If you're paying 250 a ticket don't you think it's worth a good dinner not an appetizer looking plate where you're left hungry still? Trust me if I could all for my money back I would and donated it differently.
