He said this is how the supervisor of that office wants it. So, when I went it was in the 40's and very cold. This was un-called for. What is the point of this to make elderly or sick people wait in the cold for hours? Even the DMV has more compassion. This is the only place I could make a complain easily.

Long story short I lost my I'd and need to get it replaced since they stole my wallet and purse. I made sure I called before I drove half across town. I spoke to a young lady on the phone her name was Yesenia I believe and said dont worry just come in and we will take care of you. Once I walked in that office I was never greeted no one turned around to acknowledge the people that walked in. I dont know if they have a system on how they work or how they treat people. I came up to the window and was approached by a young man dont know his name since he never mentioned it. I told him why I had came in and he already had a attitude and was short and very rude. I mentioned to him I had just called and spoke to a young lady. He said she doesnt know our policy changed but instead of saying I'm sorry for the wrong information given. I then asked him since I dont have a I'd on me can I still purchase a non certified copy, he said oh yes you can. Why get all worked up? If you dont like your job why are your their? I waited a out 30 minutes and 5 other people had been helped after I will still waiting. I had to ask if their was someone else their that can help me. Since everyone after me was walking in and out with no problems. I think people need to be trained on customer service. I did not feel welcomed here at all.

For years the Dream Center has been a place where current and former foster youth can go if they need guidance and help. Their new location has more than doubled their square footage making it possible for them to provide new services for homeless and youth transitioning out of the foster care system. All of the same resources still exist. Some new additions include access to showers and washing machines. Youth can find a supportive community here. It is a spot where friends can be made and mentors can be found. There is no other place like this in Kern! I cannot say enough about how amazing this place is... The staff here is wonderful! From the front desk receptionist to the custodian; everyone who works here has a huge heart for youth and helping others. The youth I have had the pleasure of meeting throughout the years have been some of the smartest and most resilient human beings I've ever met. They are a real inspiration and I am so glad that Kern County has a place that is focused on helping their dreams become reality.
