Horrible place to go to. I wonder what kind of clients they truly help! Am a single mother in shelter; these people could still not help me! They made me wait for two months and when I reached out to them, they searched for my case for hours - meaning no one even looked at it or took a record of it into their computers. They finally told me - they can't help me :( .Very unprofessional amateur young women over there - the place needs more adult individuals than those little kids who got no idea what it means to be in need! May be they only focus on White color!!!
