Samara House – Coatesville

THESE BLACK WOMEN WHO SUPPOSEDLY WORK HERE TAKE ALL THE MEATS AND GOOD PRODUCTS.STEAKS , CHICKEN, PORK CHOPS. ROGER , THE MAN IN CHARGE ALLOWS THIS!!! I WOULD LOVE THIS PLACE TO BE INVESTIGATED!!! THESE WOMEN NEED TO BE… REPORTED. IT'S A SHAME.

They falsely advertise the services they provide due to the fact that they lost funding. They're extremely understaffed and will do more to set you back with their lack of initiative than help you move forward. Red… flag. Rethink your choice and find somewhere else to go.

The staff members on the outreach shelter side are horrible! The staff members Sharon who goes by “Moo” and Maya are horrible! I had family members who left that shelter and they would talk about residents who aren’t… there calling them dirty ect! It’s a shame that a place like this was made to help and they don’t help ! The staff members talk about residents to other residents! My cousin didn’t want to make this review because the staff members listed would have said something to Them! They need to be shut down permanently! It’s sad this facility is still up and Running at this point! They had mice roaches bed bugs and mold ! I’ve spoken to serval residents who were placed there who Said their stay at the shelter gave them ptsd. The staff members tried to fight residents called them dirty cat ugly ect and there was nothing done to the staff members by their boss! Please shut this place down I’m currently working on getting a report placed on this facility!

This place has zero to no care about their policies and rules they put in place they don’t care about what happens to you or how other neighbors treat you the walls are hollow and everyone has no respect for you or your… privacy

Does good work helping women in the area

This is awesome CYWA provides food to the community. The people who host this vommunity event are very polite, helpful and caring.

Not happy at all with the samara house, they lost some of my personal things, like my cell phone, phone cords and etc, which I gave to them when I checked in. They don't serve 3 hot meals. They don't do a lot what they… claim to do over the phone when you're doing a phone interview to see if they'll accept you. If I knew all this I would've never went there.

My church helps out with the food bank one Wednesday noon a month distributing donated foods. Wegmans and other supermarkets give great food, some out of date. We bring bagged lunch of sandwich, fruit and snacks. This… time we had children's socks donated by our nursery school and next month there will be coats. Bank is very popular and very well run. It is a gift to the giver to participate.

This place. It has helped me to recognize my addiction and my addictive behaviors! The entire staff from top to bottom was very kind and caring. They work to their max capabilities to aide women and their children. They… each have a lot of compassion and consideration. They don't judge. They don't care about your past only in helping you to recognize there is a future in your recovery and hope for a better life. One day at a time. You gotta put the work in. I didn't know how to trust anyone not even myself. But after graduating this program. I am in a much better mindset than I once was. And it's because this place gave me a chance

Right next to a trap house. This place is a set up for a mental breakdown or relapse. Seriously the staff all have favorites. They allow the shadiest things to occur. People selling Suboxone to other clients, clients… stealing. The staff manipulates and belittles the clients left and right. They only take your phone so you can't call for help. They feed you lies to reel you in. Treat clients like animals and all they want is a paycheck. Shady house is what it should truly be called. No love or compassion

The State after the investigation and inspections continues to regulate the issues. Not many women's shelter available.

The Samara House helped me when I was pregnant with my daughter and didn't know what to do. They showed love and compassion. I had my daughter while there and now have a place of my own. I recommend the CYWA to anyone… who needs help or assistance.

The people are so friendly and helpful.

VOLUNTEERING

Nice advocate

They helped me achieve stability and helped me with funding for an apartment

When me and my family stayed there, There were roaches and the lady that ran it had "favorites" where should would treat people unfairly and not be able to give out proper food distribution. And we are a family of 4 and… we had oNe of the smallest rooms, while a lady had 1 child got the biggest. Don't go here there are better places for you to stay

Family oriented facility with genuine care, help & compassionate for everyone that comes through the doors. Spreading the love from one to another & all that is expected in return is to pay that same generosity forward.… ALL is Welcome!
