I spent 4yrs.. count em 4yrs in this facility when I arrived my son was graduating 8th grade when I left he was going into his senior yr of high school! The facility in itself needs some repairs definitely new wiring and new paint throughout, the bathrooms need to be updated but the individual rooms most families receive are ok some have heating that works some don't, in the summer same with the air, the food is mediocre but hey it's a shelter can't expect 5star cuisine, the staff mostly are on power trips and can be condescending and cruel especially if they for whatever reason don't like you and your family it can be like high school very clicky their are certain staff who go above and beyond to assist families the number one being Ms.Angie Baker & Ms.Lisa (front desk daily a.m.) other than them its up to each adult in the families to maintain their composure when getting challenged by others that includes peers and staff, after four yrs I received 1 yr rent payment from rapid rehousing after that I was on my own financially and that was in the middle of the pandemic so I really couldn't get no support because most businesses including (Pha & HUD) were closed, I was able to via my own moxie and a wonderful group of women to secure a emergency housing voucher via the Philadelphia housing authority ported it out to Montgomery County where thank god finally I reside permanently with the ongoing housing voucher, thanks to SFM the supportive few staff and the rest may God have mercy on you & everyone be blessed 🫶🏿🙏🏿‼️💯
