Charis House: what do users think?
Catherine Lewis: Charris house has a lot of good points. Nice to know a person doesn't have to be completely homeless. Life is truly what I make it. I choose to follow the rules which can appear to be very strict, but I know for a fact strict can keep you out of jail. But I digress. Everything is choice. Haven't quite adhere to all of this but for me it's something to ponder. I can choose to follow there strict rules or I can be further homeless.
Jamien “Cherrelle” Fleming: This place is beyond amazing!!!Great food!Great staff (except that 1... it's always that one miserable person in every setting!) But the staff here is loving, friendly, supportive, encouraging and understanding!!!!!This is the BEST EXPERIENCE I'VE HAD SINCE I'VE BEEN IN FORT WAYNE 114 DAYS!!HANDS DOWN, I LOVE IT!!!
Elizabeth Cardoza: If you want to save your life from addiction this is the place to go! Staff is very supportive and you feel very safe at Charis House. One of the best.
Alina Cuautle: Very depressing place, feels like a prison. Treats everyone as if they’re an addict. Staff very unprofessional, rude, and constantly gossip about residents instead of helping. Only give out a quarter of donations and either pocket or throw out the rest. You can’t work for 6-8 months so good luck on saving. I could say more but this is just whats on the surface. All in all the program is not helpful in any way and I would never recommend.
Preciosa Seven: horrible place horrible staff . Very manipulative Liars . Bed bugs . Very prison like . They talk about the people they help . Very unprofessional staff are instigators and very unreasonable rude and disrespectful .
Natalia Gonzalez: Horrible had bad bed bugs blamed it on me and said It was from me kept me in a bed bug infested place .Gossiping about people they were helpingTalking bad about clients and making fun of them .not very Christian to be a christian place . Staff are liars and very manipulative. Feels like prison more than a shelter WOULD NOT RECCOMEND
Amber Trowbridge: Exceptional people and amazing staff
R Lew: Leave you're unwanted clothes and accessories here for the girls and kids who really appreciate and need. Instead of Goodwill who just resales it. A great cause. Call them they will come out of the building and unload you're vehicle....please help them out!
Crystal Garris: 🙏
Bridgett Holman: Over amonth ago i did an iver the phone intake and was told i was added to the waiting list. I called to the least 2 x's a week and on November 3 i entered the Avenues Recovery Center and after 7 says had a counselor call to make sure i was not skipped and still on waiting list. We the next day last Thursday i was told i wasn't on the waiting list because when i was there in January I didnt do what was required which is a lie. WAandanis a psuedo christian and didn't like me from the start. Think about some messed up things before you enter this program. Sorry Wanda I was the wrong color!
Cynthia Nix: I stayed there with my son for 2 weeks before being accepted elsewhere, and this was the most depressing place I had ever been too! It feels like prison! I was there for 2 weekends, and the first weekend I wasn't even allowed to go to church! I do not know of any place that discourages church as much as the Charis House!
Terry l Walker: This is where I am staying and it's the best shelter in Fortwayne for women and children it not just a shelter its God House. The staff here are caring loving people God people.
Shaun Burridge: Caring staff
Mona Wenger: Very well organized and needed not for profit home for women and children. A place for families to stay until they get back on their feet. Chapel service every Friday. Thank you LORD for your servants.
Denver and Terry Coyer: I'm staying here right this min. And so far I like it.
Joy Tiernon: Life transformation takes place here!
Mercede Lynch: Lovely staff! Great place to get on your feet! Loves people and children!
Katie Ercolino: Feel like prison
Godified Saint: As a intern a while back before graduating with my 1st degree...I felt as if there were more laughs at the people they helped, which is not...nor christian like. Hypocrites if you ask me! They do make big changes and are a blessing to be in this city though.
Shante Smith: This place changes so many lives
Earla Printup: Something is horribly wrong here. Took well over a month to talk to someone and calls are never returned. Most homeless people don't have cell phones to call every day. Who are they serving?

Mike Helblig: Nice, quiet place for the homeless and less fortunate to have some of the amenities of "home": a shower, chance to do a small load of laundry, coffee, a hot lunch

YWCA of Northeast Indiana: what do users think?
Orion Samples: Was escaping a domestic violence situation and was treated absolutely terribly by residents and staff on numerous occasions. Wasn’t allowed out for the night on Xmas eve to see my friend, and had been threatened by someone and had a man break in. Not safe and the food is not only repetitive but they barely cater to people’s dietary needs such as mushroom allergies and dairy allergies. When asked if the food had mushrooms I was told “I don’t know gotta figure it out i guess” I’d rather not go into anaphylactic shock but thanks. It felt like being on the streets was better than being here on multiple occasions
Kathleen Richards: Staff is awful. Place isn't safe or clean.
Gary Krager: Bless them for the work they do for women here!
Kelly McArdle Miller: Newer facility built in 2017 to help local women in need of shelter and services. Thankful we have caring people and places like this in FW!
Jessica R Bostic: Im on the addictions side, there's this side and a side for victims of domestic violence. I love it here, but coming from treatment and jail, I'm grateful and humbled. How you look at the YWCA depends on where you're coming from and what your experience is. I cant share photos because of HIPPA and protecting the identity of the women here.
Tereesa D.: very friendly and caring staff that really want to help
Heath Matthews: I'm grateful for the opportunity that the YWCA is giving my family so we can stay together.
BARBARA MCCOY: Just took some items on their needs list to them.
Theresa Wheat: The staff Are angels. The food is not edible! I'm so weak right now from not eating..really needs a cook!!! The food is zero stars!!
Melissa Herrington: What this place does for woman is great
Madeline Ellis: The park is awesome!!
Tammy Munson: We serve the many to help them with their needs and provide a safe environment
Nancy Renae Maple: Love this place. Wonderful people
Jeremy Miller: Very good program
cyndi M.: It's open right now and at least someplace you can exercise and watch TV

Ft Wayne Rescue Ministries: what do users think?
Sherry: Went to this mission with friends. We all got four meals to hand out to one's that can't get out or have any family. This was the Easter dinner. The people that ate it got severe diarrhea. The menu on the website was turkey, ham, and potato salad. They got leftover spaghetti instead of potato salad. I will never do that again. I will find other resources. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Jerri Dillon: The rescue mission only takes men
Cabbie Minister: I think thay need to watch there people that live there alot closer thay do drugs and thay drink n take advantage of lady not a good place at all
Tab Levitas: It's a shame this is the only place you can go to when you're homeless in fort Wayne... They offer a 30 day emergency stay for everyone, if you want longer you must join one of their many faith based life recovery programs. There is there salvation army too, but they make you work for next to no pay effectively slavery... Forced religion, slavery, or pitch a tent and hope the cops don't need with you... Gotta love Fort Wayne!
Linzy Robinson: Thank you for all the wonderful meals. This place is a much needed and appreciated establishment.
Catherine Lewis: i think it was awesome for me, when i was displaced, for them to set me up in a hotel for at least 10 days, it gave me a chance to have income for a motel until things get better and with God it promises to do that. So it's about 10 months later on my journey since being displaced. So grateful for a higher power who chooses to take care of me. He didn't have to but like one of the men that died with him on the cross he asked. That all God wants from us , we'll that a major part of living with God is that He wants us to ask. I used to be so proud that when earlier I didn't even have furniture in my home I didn't even ask the church that I had attended for furniture. So proud, but today because of Jesus I have no problem asking. Thanks be to Jesus. So recently as of October 20. I had to go back to the mission , living at charris house. Setbacks are real but I'm not giving up. I still have dreams. I still have hope and God still loves me. Go figure. Use to do a lot of talking about it but today. I will just have to do. Struggles are a part of life. Wish I could snap my fingers and all would be well. I truly want better, but my struggles run deep. I mean I look good my grooming is better, so much better, and I'm even coping better but handling reality is a very big problem or me. I see people get better so genuinely happy for them . God has such a promising future for all of us. Don't really know how to handle this but to pray. Life has finally taught me giving up is NOT an option. It usually get pretty hard after making that declaration, but I don't care . Let the chips fall where it may. With mental illness it harder. With the recent death of stwitch , dancer from the Ellen show, I'm seeing know that life is going to take much more than I thought. I heard this at a funeral. Sometimes people die to save you or me or us. Something is missing in my life I just want me now. So good news as of February 17, 2023. im still homeless, but i figured out what was causing me the problem. So LW, i will have even better news, but i want to surprise people, even myself. like fantasia said life is no fairytale, but dreams can come true.
Alpplebuttumsup C: Very nice
James Prough: It needs more staff, especially during the winter months to control the flow of homeless people. The staff could be more compassionate but I can understand that dealing with those that don't want to change. This was developed as a launch pad to better ones life, not a permanent residency. I myself appreciate this facility.
Jody Joe: I work alot with these guys down here. The fresh start program that they offer is a life saving program that is helping and changing alot of peoples lives.
Kelly McArdle Miller: This organization serves an underserved population in Fort Wayne and it’s important work. They have a combination of paid staff and volunteers providing meals, shelter and programming to help women, men and children move to the next stage of their journey.Thank you for all you do!!
Wade Wasson: Went there with a buddy of mines elderly father to get some Thanksgiving meals and it was actually very nice.
Kim Olsen: I was dumped off here by the avenues recovery center. It was very over crowded with no one to clearly direct me on anything I could do or anyone to ask questions for what I wanted to accomplish. I was alone in a space full of scary people with so many questions and did not know what to do. It was an awful, terrifying experience for my Thanksgiving day. Thank you Avenues recovery center.
Dave Shaffer: Fort Wayne is lucky to have a facility like this!!
Rick Dever: Great Thanksgiving meals ....thank you so much
Dustin Hart: Great warm place three hot meals and a warm bed.
MICHAEL SHEA GRAY: You know the Ft.Wayne Mission is supposed to be about helping ppl find there way back into the world but instead they treat it like it's a prison, and if you leave and are gone for more than 3 days they do away with your belongings now just how is that helping a person that's trying to get back into society how is that helping them out, it's not bc it just sets them back that much further starting back into society so then there already starting off on the wrong foot heading back into society and there starting back out that way bc the FtWayne mission thats supposed to be helping ppl get back to society is starting them off going in the wrong direction backwards instead of forward????? Now you tell me whats wrong with this picture....
Kathleen Cavazos: Very badly littered,really bad feeling when waiting for service.
Al Fugit: I live here
Sandy Phillips: My daughter was left in Fort Wayne she is from Springfield mo. She has no phone or money. I have not heard from her in 3 days. Her name is Monica if you come in contact with her please have her call home. I am in for her safety and just want her home. God bless.
Dean Johnson: Upon recovery was thrown out due to unreasonable acts of non violent offense and am now banned for 6 months upon throwing my own vape at the wall lol mutiny is what they run.!!
Jerryw Hart: It is becoming a mad house sometimes I felt like cattle being hurded from one area to another no assigned beds first come first get it I'm 73 with arthritis in my knees I had to always take a top bunk it was hard for me to get up and down

Just Neighbors Family Center: what do users think?
guero cabron: They are racist and they lied one to have my kids taken. I would never go back there
Rosemary Hunter: I didn't stay at the shelter (not as of yet) but did have the pleasure of meeting Erin, Shirley, and Stephanie for Eviction Intervention and can't thank them enough. It's not over yet, but it is their words of encouragement and their expertise of the subject matter, has been key factors of my coping with this all. Thank y'all!!R L Hunter
Mozzarella Mari: Night staff is disrespectful and testy. I left and signed out, signed back in and they tried saying I didn't (looked at the sheet myself, I did) They tried kicking me out for it. Do not recommend unless you never go anywhere.
Missy Faye: We were very fortunate to have Just Neighbors in our corner! It was a good place to start building a new foundation for my children....... Forever grateful!
L W Durril: A social service agency that helps homeless Families ‼️💤🛌
