ABSOLUTELY and completely WORTHLESS!

Don't even waste your time calling, because they have nothing at all for homeless or poor people. They just send you on a trip to nowhere, by suggesting you call other numbers.

The homeless funding pays these people to answer the phone. But, they have nothing to offer! It's a complete scam and a waste of California's tax dollars. The WORST part is they will claim there is housing available, so you listen and think it's worth trying. But, after calling a dozen of the numbers they gave you, all you have received is MORE phone numbers to call.

So, that's the scam. You call and call and end up with NOTHING! You call 211 and get a new number to call. Then, you call the new number and they give another new number! NOBODY actually provides anything. They make a complete fool out of you by telling you to call more phone numbers. That's it. There's absolutely NO services. All you did was run your phone battery dead on calls to places that just give you more phone numbers.

This is cruel to do this to poor people in need. They should put this nonsense out of business and save the tax dollars. Imagine showing a hungry person a picture of food and telling them to call this number to get it. You call, and the next place shows you a picture of food, and you get a new number to call. But, no matter how many calls you make, you simply end up with nothing.

What a REAL agency would do is take your name and address and send someone out THAT DAY to move you to temporary housing, until they have permanent housing available for you. But, there's NOTHING at all like that. Not even close. Why can't they just be honest, for god's sake?

So forget about help coming to rescue you! Get a job and buy a car so at least you're out of the elements. Then, buy or build some sort of home on wheels as you earn more money. Finally, accept that this is how you will spend the remainder of your life. So, make sure your home on wheels has all the requirements of a real home. It's all up to you, to provide for yourself. Learn that now and for forever!

Honestly, did you really think any government agency was ready and willing to come help you? Of course not! You learned a very important life lesson today. Whatever you make of your life is all up to YOU! Remember that! So, make a plan for a better future!

My final advice! Do this, if you still insist on calling 211. Just ask them straight out if there is ANY sort of shelter or housing for anyone experiencing homelessness. Don't lie to me, you say. Just tell me the truth. Do you have anything RIGHT NOW to offer me? No? Nothing? OK! Thank you, you say.

That's the best way to get a straight answer out of them.

Use common sense. If there was really any help, why would there be millions of homeless people sleeping out in the cold? Of course, there's NOTHING!

Good luck! Bye now!
