CommUnityCare: Austin Resource Center for the Homeless (ARCH) Clinic ONLY

"AND ANOTHER THING STOP SHOWING ALL VIOLENT MOVIES AMONST TESTES THAT ARE EASILY PROVOKED BY IMMATURITY IN THE WORKPLACE....THE FACT THAT I BELIEVE THIS WILL BE DELETED AND DANCED AROUND WITH MORE DISTRACTIONS THIS PLACE NEEDS NO MORE ATTN. THE STAFF IS working by the shift and even clicking up and turning a blind eye to belongings coming up missing.(ex.) we wont look at the camera for you but backtrack and look for there booty bunkies worst VISIT IVE EVER HAD ON THIS VISIT BACK TO TEXAS. IM TIRED OF THE opportunistic REALITY OF My so called peers, AND OTHERS AROUND ME ACTUALLY TRUTH BE TOLD I WILL TAKE THIS HIGHER BUT THIS IS AS PASSIVE AS I CAN BE FOR NOW ON. THINGS CAN REALLY BECOME DANGEROUS FOR ANYONE WHEN YOU ARE NOT PROPERLY TRAINED TO HANDLE SO CALLED HOMELESS AND MENTAL PATIENTS.they should hope salvation army isnt shut down before IT OPENS WITH the staff the bay area ais hiring and the favorites they are playing out here in texas. I BELIEVE THE STAFF's NEEDs A COMPETENCY TEST ON TOP OF LEARNING TO KEEP THEiR PERSONAL BUSINESS TO THEMSELVES. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL FOR SOMEONE THAT COLLECTS A CHECK SPONSORED BY DIFFRENT OUTLETS. Ive been hired for 10 dollars less in worst states and ecoenemies than this."

"I'm married. Where can me and my husband go to a shelter at?"

"Dont go there with a strong voice or distress or crying I was desperate and I guess my voice tone was loud I was told I can't come there ever and I was given a false reason. I am living outside with our their help. So it made me give one star I guess that's appropriate for what they do for others"

"Poor people jail. Unfit for human habitation. Multi-hour waits for everything. Bed bugs. Every morning, staff wakes people up and kicks them back out into the street several hours before dawn, practically the middle of the night. (Like chronic sleep deprivation is helpful for rebuilding a life). It's extremely difficult to get a locker for storage, practically guaranteeing a person will be out of mainstream society and on the streets for months (losing their mind the whole time) before they can go to a job interview without an overstuffed backpack. More expensive to run than simply housing every person who stays there on a given night. Despite compelling evidence for the opposite approach, out of touch management at the ARCH believes strongly in the notion that treating people badly is the best way to help them. Starve them, move them along, make sure they can't get enough sleep... They tell you to give your money to their massive bureaucracy, that it's wasted if it goes to helping a person directly. That helping is hurting. We've had years of that. Does anyone really believe the problem has gotten better?"

"This place is infested with bedbugs on all three floors in the mats, as well the lockers on the 3rd floor. This place isn't fit too be open, and the staff can be rude or muniplative at times. They also kick everyone out of the building at 10:30am for lunch and don't come back in no matter what the weather may be. And on Tuesday at 2pm you're kicked out until 5:15pm that depends on the manager that day. If you're homeless and planning on coming to Austin, Tx. All I can tell you is to think about it first, listen to a true home grown Austinite born and raised that has experienced the ARCH."
