St. Vincent De Paul Mission Of Waterbury Shelter's Online Review Report Card

So....I felt comfortable. Clean. I don't need out reach services. I also want nothing to do with your "drug" counselor. I'm so sorry to say my psychiatrist feels I do not need "therapy". The right thing to do is be honest....I really wanted to be a police officer.....nobody took me seriously. I just hope this time everyone is kind to me.

I have been out of this place for 4 months they continue to help me they are great but like I say you have to put your foot forward to make a difference in life and life is what you put into it so when you put something into life that's what you're going to get back this place will help you as long as you want to help yourself yes the food might not be great all the time but it is not a five star resort either it is a place to live and help you get back on your feet

I was in this shelter I had a good case manager the best there was at the time Megan she is now running the place so I just know this place is going to get much better great place good staff you just got to put your foot forward to make yourself better other than that they are there to help you and will help you continuously great people for the most part. But if you don't want to change you never will so put your foot forward and make the best out of it. And they will help you as much as you help yourself Megan keep up the great work I only know this place is going to get better with you running it Thank you Art B

The place is literally God the people is the devil

Dirty showers, leftover food 2-3 days in a row (just made in different ways). Half the time the food was cold. Being treated like you were a child, god forbid I gave my husband ANY type of affection in there (you automatically got told to seperate and not do it! Haha How old am I 5?) But overall... It was a roof over my head for the time being, and now we have our own apartment.

Great so far

Is a shelter for family and singles with kids or with out the upstairs got bedbugs same downstairs the women staff are mean and rude,the food is not so good but is food most likely everyday they give HAM for dinner.

COMPLETE NIGHTMARE!!

I was very happy to be where I new where I can sleep,eat,and shower new I was save . Thank you for as l you did for me.

I can only be great full to have had a place for my child and I to sleep.if you are homeless and know you have no other place but the street you are great full because no one owns you a darn thing. you are bein helped so don't complain.make the best of it and do what you need to do to get your own.work hard at it.you are bein sheltered!..the only sad part here is that some clients themselves take the lil you have.some steal and many women there pick on the ones who either dont speak English or just dont give in to their getto mentality.sad individuals, because you are there with your kids because you have no home for them so why act like you need to proof something?I pretty much ignore them but did stand my ground and not let anyone try that nonsense with me.my lil boy's toys,balls were stolen since we have to leave for part of the day. yes! (Monica),there was one long blonde hair woman that was a staff that could be very rude and give you attitude for no reason at all.the rest of the staff were kind and understanding of our situation. I can only say thank you for the things we were given,meals,soap and things we needed to make our day or night a lil better.there were no bedbugs when I was there.
