Do not come to this place unless its somehow your last resort. The downstairs where they hold groups and stuff is honestly nice. They keep that up to date, I guess for show and stuff. However, the upstairs where people… sleep and bathe are disgusting. There were layers of filth on the floors and bathroom showers. The beds were nasty, small, and old. They expect you to take all your clothes to be properly washed, which was fine, but they give you scrubs that were so worn and stained it was disgusting. In the room I was in the framework of the place was cracked and practically falling apart. I, myself, have fallen on hard times but when I asked for a towel and they gave me a cloth bath mat that you'd usually receive in a hotel for a towel, that was the last straw for me. I couldn't stay in a place where they clearly have no regard for treating a human down on their luck with the respect to even give them a normal towel to shower with. And when I brought this up to the "doctor" she laughed acting like I was being unreasonable about how this place was. Honestly, I have no idea how they're in teams with mental health places when living in that place would be bad for your mental health. The only reason I say to go there is if you have literally nowhere else to go. And trust me, they'll make sure you know when you're signing yourself out you have nowhere else to go to the point of where you might end up staying in that dingy nasty place with people who clearly think you're below them. It's honestly so sad they can spend so much on making certain parts, like downstairs, look nice but let everything else be so poorly kept.

I asked to be on the section 8 voucher waiting list 5 years ago.Meanwhile I’m watching people come in after us and get vouchers before me / us. Make it make sense. I’m still waiting just to be put on the list. My X… spouse has been through 11 different case managers since she came to BCRI. They have tried 3 different times to push us off on other programs because I don’t think they know what they are doing. I’m still renting a room. Year 4 now after being told it only took 18 months to get a voucher if we went threw BCRI. Still can’t get a straight answer on who’s to blame. I have lots of names I could right on here. I’m choosing to not to until I get to the bottom of this. Beyond livid

Absolutely not.
