Worst idea I ever had, I paid my weeks rent and stayed 3 days. I told the owner I had an interview at an Oxford house and he said when I got in he would refund my money and only charged me for the days I stayed in the end he charged me for 6 days. Hell I even got a job and paid my rent and I couldn't go to work because it conflicted with his venue and curfew so it's either lose my job or they kick me out and I wasn't about to lose my job. You work for free at the venue and those normal workers make $12.50 an hour and they take 60 people that's over $8000 a day they make off of you and he wanted to charge me six days when I only stayed 3 good place to go if you need id or social but they take all your food stamps also. I'm trying to move forward in life not stall out and stay for years. I'd rather be on the street then work my ass off for a hipocrite. And that's facts read more

Go at your own risk, but be prepared for a lot of high school level drama, shadiness and favoritism from the owners, and double standards. I was kicked out for being in a relationship, however at the time I left, there were at least 3 other couples that were allowed to stay. So I wouldn't say this place is entirely LGBTQ+ friendly. You'll be overworked at sporting games and concerts, and Ray takes all the credit card tips from those transactions, and threatens to kick you out if you tell the customers that he does. My manager openly told me on several occasions to lie and tell customers that we received all credit card tips, even though they all go directly into Ray's pocket. In order to eat from the kitchen, they make you apply for food stamps, and give them half, which isn't the most legal practice, as food stamps aren't supposed to be used by anyone other than the recipient. Ray loves to play favorites, so my advice would be to get on his good side. You never know what you're gonna get with him. Some people can come back drunk or high to no consequences, while others get kicked out for not making their bed. Zero consistency. He claims to try to help people, but as soon as his profits or bottom line starts getting hampered, that all goes out the window. The place is absolutely INFESTED with bedbugs, and you don't get much help from the owners in dealing with it. They just had me move from one infested room to another. I had to order my own bedbug killer to deal with their problem. So if you're willing to put up with all of this, you could try this place out. It's just unfortunate that they take advantage of the fact that their clientele is in need, so they think they overwork you, mistreat you, and discriminate against you. Unfortunately, they usually get away with it because the people residing here have nowhere else to go. Go somewhere where the people actually care about helping YOU, not filling their pockets off of your labor. Money is the ultimate corruptor and root of all evil, and that is on full display at Anew Vision. read more

I'm an employment specialist for a well-known company in Fort Worth Texas. My goal and employment duty are to assist our community with finding employment options. The company I work for predominantly assist those that have barriers with locating employment such as the elderly, persons with criminal backgrounds, and disabilities. I called ANEW Vision 8/8/2022. After I contacted the number that the client provided at the time to sign up for assistance, the contact informed me that she no longer was employed with ANEW Vision (I understand why). I Google searched the contact number listed for ANEW Vision. Which is the number listed above and the "owner" was so disrespectful, rude, and appear to not be concern about the clients that he provides housing for re-entry into society at all. He continuously reminded me, "this is my cell phone number" in a very aggressive tone. He also told me, "Don't you work for __? you should have something else to do". I explained that my job duties are to attempt to contact the client that is requesting assistance. He then yelled at me to have a good day and hung up in my face. If your loved one or client is in this facility, please sure that they have a phone so that the client will have at least a chance of re-entry and locating employment. read more
