I've been coming here since March after losing my job because of a disability and still waiting for…read moremy SSDI to get approved. If you need to be a client, it's actually very simple. Check their website for the requirements and process. I was driving and going through the drive-thru line when I first started. Depending on how long the line is, it can take about 1 hour average. I don't drive anymore, so they do offer to assist walking clients. It still takes about an hour average also depending on how many clients there are before you. Unfortunately, they usually only have 1 volunteer to process new clients and their walking clients. I have waited 2.5 hours once because of this to get food assistance. When I was driving, I did see on 2 occasions where a car client wanted to cut in line, but their security wouldn't allow them. On the side for walking clients, I have seen 1 female volunteer that wasn't very friendly towards clients. Otherwise, I've had good experiences here.

Thank you interfaith.. unfortunately I had been in the homeless cycle off and ok for years. I…read morealways felt safe and dignified there. I've heard people complain about the wait,which is ridiculous to me. The volunteers are the absolute best and they get to know you. It's set up w efficiency. The clothing closet to me is better the going out searching for clothes,maybe because you can feel the love that was put into it being provided. If you get there and in line before they open it's your best bet at getting the best of the free bread and baked goods they set out . It's the only thing I miss about being homeless, is getting to see them once a week. If you aren't homeless they will allow people in every two weeks. They go by income guidelines and social services programs you are in PLEASE TREAT THE EMPLOYEES THE RESPECT THEY DESERVE. THEY ARE NOT DOING THIS FOR FREE BUT OF LOVE

As soon as I approached the front door I was "greeted" by a curly blonde hair heavy set senior woman that was clearly uncomfortable by my presence alone and the idea of my 3 young black boys starting there. Needless to say, I am super offended by the lack of effort and willingness to give us information to attend for the new school year. I literately could feel the prejudice vibes from her. The bright side of this interaction is that I learned this before enrolling my children so they wouldn't have to be treated like criminals the way she treated me. If this was her approach to me, in my business casual attire I could imagine she would've crapped herself in my leisure clothing. Please beware before enrolling your children new families to the neighborhood. I haven't had a interaction like this in a long time. Smh

It's too bad I can't leave separate star ratings, I'd rate the amenities & ambiance fours stars, responsiveness from operations zero stars.

I own a yoga studio in town and was quickly motivated to get involved. The founder, Jamie and I found that there were plenty of ways in which we could join forces to help our veterans. I'm proud to say that I've worked with Jamie in creating a program in which we can help veterans attend yoga classes to help them cope with challenges that arise. Jamie is a true leader and this organization is a much needed bridge to help so many vets in need.

Ms. Debbie is the most Caring, Loving person I've ever met in my life! I've never met anyone who cares so much about helping homeless men as Ms. Debbie. I am forever thankful for Emerson House, Ms. Debbie, and for the opportunity to live life again. Ms. Debbie accepted me when I had no money, no plan, no hope. If you want to get clean and sober, get employment, change your life so that you will never be homeless again, there is no better place than Emerson House. I know that once I leave Emerson House I will never be fearful of being homeless again. So, I say to all homeless men, if you want to get clean and sober, never want to be homeless again, become the man you want to be, come to Emerson House. You will never find anyone who cares so much about helping homeless men as Ms. Debbie, Emerson House, and CTCAH. This Program Works!!! Thank You, Ms. Debbie, Emerson House, CTCAH, For Caring!!! You Saved My Life!!! Forever Changed.
