Placentia Navigation Center (P.A.T.H Shelter)

Poorly trained staff, staff will make up stories to discredit the homeless they claim they are assisting The only helping they do Is helping themselves to what is donated to the homeless. . giftcards, clothing, food, everything the. Community donates staff will keep if they want it. Let's have been stolen by staff and sold. Discriminatory, disrespectful and disgusting PATH NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED for criminal misconduct before someone is burned alive during path ignoring its obligations deduction of duty!

I stayed at Path for One year. I moved there hoping to get help with security deposits I had already obtained a voucher on my own prior to moving in Path. I was told at intake that they would give me the security deposited assistance I needed. Knowing I already had voucher just had to wait for it's arrival. When my voucher arrived Path told me they would not help as promised. And didn't. A verbal contract is a binding contract. But because the attitude among staff is that of people who don't see us homeless people as worthy . Just because I'm homeless I'm not worthless of respect , and have rights. I wonder why anyone would get a job helping homeless when homeless people are unworthy of assistance. Get a different job!! When Damion Smith (Dee) became Tony's position, Path Navigation became unhealthy and shame on anyone who stands behind there policies . Stealing dogs, making bed bug festations promises the don't fulfill and running a homeless shelter when you and your actions say you don't like or have concern for homeless Americans.
Shame on you for adding to homeless Americans hardships who seek refuge only to be so unworthy.

This shelter helps the homeless get on housing after going thru a program and/or after so many months living there. I have not heard of any other shelter that provides their occupants with this opportunity. If you are ACTUALLY IN NEED of these services, I would highly recommend you going here. The Section 8 housing in OC is almost impossible to get any other way. I cannot attest to the cleanliness of this facility, but the rewards of them getting you housing may be worth any slight additional hardship you are already experiencing by staying here. Like any other private or publicly funded institution which works with the homeless, there are always shortcomings.

Was a great shelter and staff was very helpful and I miss my Housing Navigator and staff there. I wish they would have keeped in contact with me after my move with client housing services cause they were closed down due to county funding and some clients were causing issues within shelter and surrounding neighborhood to Placentia . Bed bugs were caused due to clients not managing there hygiene and keeping there sleeping area clean and staff did there best to clean facility but some of the clients abused the bathrooms as well. A small amount of clients ruined it for majority not thinking about there consequences to others. So it eventually closed down and I lost supportive serves with them. As well ask housing navigator worker team lead. Tony facility manager is someone that I’ll always appreciate and remember being so helpful and kind. He tried his best to keep it open for the employees and those that needed it most . Thank You Tony I’ll always remember your kindness and support to those in need. And what you did for me. Ater they reopened it I heard and I’m seeing current reviews that they keep in touch with clients and maintain housing and client support with clients.

I don't know anything personally but what people have told me . I'm going to be going in and or calling my Husband and I are wanting to be clients of this Path shelter so let me see and I will be giving a review after I'm accepted or denied. Talk with you all later one more thing I have heard only positive about Path .
