Never tell them about your mental health get housing first and then seek counseling. They will definitely use it against you. I understand

I remember when I had to stay at a shelter back in 2021 due to a house fire. my case worker was lazy like she never did anything she was supposed to do an she even told me "oh if u got a job then you shouldn't be here"? Like what so yall just really want this because they make alot of money from people In the shelters thankfully It only took me 3 months an I moved out on my own

Contact Catholic Charities of Brooklyn and Queens. They actually help you and they also help you get affordable housing vouchers. You also don't have to be in a shelter to get there help.

When I was in there with my kid's. Any movement foward was met with hostility from my caseworker and staff. They'd take my approval paperwork for a resident to keep my kid's or an overnight pass for my kid's and throw it out. The post office works with the shelter as well. It's not mathematical possible for it to be 2200 residents and no mail for 2 weeks. It's all a form of prison.

They make 3200 a month and try to keep you there 2 years. Its easier to end up in a psych ward when living on the street when you get arrested for trespassing. The shelter only sends you to a hospital if you get bugs or attack someone.

Yep facts 💯 also if you are in the shelter be careful if anyone or anyone that’s your family trying to make incapacitate. Get legal Aid and record anything if you’re getting bullying and save all documents and papers.
