Mistreatment At Shelter#3 MSC South?
Mistreatment at Shelter#3 MSC South.
First of all the check in process at this shelter is time consuming. Security guards make shelter users take everything out if your pockets and backpacks.
Last night July 20th allegedly the computers were down. So did not officially get checked in. Signed in on some list, but yet the shelter supervisor did not know about that list, so they had me down as a no-show.
I was there for the bed checks. When I went to the front desk in the morning, to make sure my bed was secure the supervisor gave me such a hard time I felt like crying. She said "what's the problem? And why you giving me attitude? Even though I am saying I was professional and wanted to make sure my bed was secure for tonight July 21st.
Those shelters are the ones' that GA refers people too, and since it is illegal to sleep in a car, on a sidewalk, in a tent etc, it is my opinion homeless people are forced into those shelters, which are rife with abuse, and staffed by unprofessional workers. Unless they want to risk arrest and tickets and confiscation of cars and or property.
