Church Ave Merchants

The worst place I've ever been. The director, "Stephanie" is a mean-spirited, hateful woman. Her relative, "Joey" works there also. The staff appropriates clothing donations meant for residents. I actually saw them trying donated clothes on - jackets and Ugg boots that never made it to the residents.
Stephanie will oppose residents who want to transfer to a different facility. Things are bad enough at this shelter, but this staff is unexcusable.

MOLD IN OUR DORM BATHROOMS TOILETS CLOGGED FOR WEEKS NOBODY IS HELPING US !!!! RESIDENTS BEEN HERE FOR 3 YEARS TRYING TO RECEIVE HOMES WITH VOUCHERS AND CASE MANAGERS ARE NOT DOING THERE JOBS !! TO HELP US MOVE OUT OF THIS CONDITION… We ARE MENTALLY FALLING APART IN EACH AND EVERY DORM ROOM AND IT IS NOT FAIR FOR US WOMEN… THEY HAVE MEN IN OUR SHELTERS NOW NOT EVEN IDENTIFYING AS WOMEN… THE MOLD WHERE THE RAG IS (WHICH THEY PUT TO HIDE THE CONDITION) HAS A HUGE HOLE WHERE RODENTS WERE COMING FROM IN OUT OF THERE … NOBODY IS DOING NOTHING TO HELP THAT SAME RAG HAS BEEN THERE SINCE DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR 2021.. THIS IS RIDICULOUS WE ARE HUMAN WOMEN SOMETHING HAS GOT TO GIVE .. WE NE E D HELP…

Disgusted with the lack of competence regarding staff that are held to a high title (all it is just that… a title) and standard. The director is incompetent who lacks common sense, seriously need to get their ish together within themselves and their staff. The staff there are rude af (esp. if you’re calling regarding one of their residence whom you work with). They like to do the CYA method a lot (instead of actually doing their job.) The resident there are treated horribly is disgusting. Oh and lets not talk about lack of proper record and information keeping, regarding conflict of interests and handling issues with certain mentally unstable residence. Get tf together.

Inept staff that can’t even handle working here. Any arguments with these women (shocker women fighting in a shelter) they call 911.
Any thing they can’t handle - 911. Security is a joke the director has no balls. A whole reinvention of this shelter needs to be done. Nobody is safe there especially when everyone’s afraid of these women residing there

So glad and relieved im out
I survived thank God

I can't say what it is like right now. I can imagine if the same director is still running the place as when I was there for 9 mos from end of August of 2016, maybe 8/25/16 to 5/13/2017. I found out about my job transfer on the 12th. The 13th I moved out. I give Camba House Bushwick Brooklyn a 3 because of the director and at least 2 staff members that were not good at their job. The rest of the staff and most of the residents were good people and courteous to each other. I had a roommate pass away in my arms and I will never forget Miss Little. I knew nothing about her but I will never forget that night. I think that broke me. The director of the shelter and those 2 staff members made the experience there so bad and most likely for most of thw staff I would imagine.

Very rude
