St Vincent's Santa Barbara 4200 Calle Real, Goleta, CA 93110

"If I could I would give this place a 0. Women and children deserve better than this place. The "sisters" talk behind your back to the @** kissers and the case manager is a joke. They have no heart. If you stay longer than 2 years, you must be concidered one of their spies or worse. Please re consider this horrid place."

"This place is very bad, the Family strengthening program is nothing but horrible people who run it. It’s supposed to be a program to help single moms with homelessness, not bring them down in their time of need. I had a very bad experience here! This was more than 4 years ago, I still think about how I was treated. I really honestly hope things have changed here for the better!"

"If there are paranormal experiences, 'criminals lurking', and 'even homeless people' (oh no!!) at St. Vincent's, it sounds like exactly the place where Christ would be. Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” -Matthew 9:12-13"

"This place is awful, and degrading! The FSP program is built upon principles to build women up, but the director has these puppet case managers to tear women down. Women who are already vulnerable. The tactic of beating someone with a stick while they are already laying on the ground is down right horrendous. You cannot be an honest person in this program, they turn everything around on you and they treat victims as villians. There was 1 nun who actually had a heart of gold and was amazing, other then that this was an awful vindictive experience, and I would not recommend anyone to participate is this fear based, backwards program!"

"It was an amazing and enriching experience to help volunteer recently at St. Vincent’s. The Sisters and entire staff were incredibly welcoming and encouraging throughout the day. Great experience!"
