211 Orange County
2023 Oct 02
The real truth about 211, it's a freaking joke. They absolutely have the worst resources especially if you're from out of town or is you're new to the area you literally have to live in the city for like years before they even like will help you. It's so absurd and so asinine that literally I was told while there's nothing we can do there's requirements and since you're not from here hence I moved here for work opportunity not to mention I have a job but it doesn't really matter what you have or what how much footwork you do they do not care about their people or people in general. Every resource that was forwarded to me was an absolute best. When I was stuck out in the rain I was basically told to just go hang out at a library or hang out at the mall not to mention I don't have a car so I was literally told hey you can walk an hour and 7 minutes out of your way or 47 minutes out of your way to get out of the rain other than that since I have a job but no place to lay my head at night I just need to figure it out. Like the best I could do for me was sit there and talk to amongst each other but you can hear them in the background throwing out stupid absurd suggestions like who tell someone to basically go hang out under a bridge or hang out under somewhere that's covered and basically you're on your own you walk the streets if you just got to figure it out because you have no quote on quote ties to the city. I guarantee you and I promise this on everything that I love once I get back on my feet I'm going to push for a change in how they give resources and and to whom resources are available too cuz this makes no sense for someone to or anybody to relocate and basically do what they can to get on their feet with having a job and basically being told and you know what just going to have to figure it out what's the point of 211 what's the point of resources what's the point of any of this and as a native American I just feel like I just been crapped on like I should even have to be in a situation like this however it is what it is like if you're not from here and if you're not tied to the city do not and I absolutely promise you this do not use 211. You will basically be wasting your time. And before anyone tries to respond trying to be cute to this post I have screenshots and I have phone conversations recorded just to show proof that these people out here do not give a damn at all. But it is what it is and this experience has made me better spiteful and just absolutely resentful and at the end of the day I'll be all right I'll figure it out on my own like I always do the blessing of it all is that at least I have a full-time job so resource in the resource I don't even use my native American benefit so why should I even use theirs.
