YWCA Northeast Indiana – Fort Wayne

I’m in connection with the YWCA in my state/ city. NEVER have I EVER heard someone be so NON-understanding! Not me calling to help a friend and give her some advice before she calls since she scared and doesn’t know how… this works and the lady catching an attitude with me. Obviously my friend will have to call in. I was asking questions for answers that she was asking.

Life saving.

I dont like how if there's no waiting list why you have to consistently do the intake over the phone if nothing is available. Ive done repetitive for a week & weekend, for no bed is available. So, you do all that… repetitively for nothing basically. It should be needed or required only if a bed is available, because they dont save the info. In that case info should be kept if we have to do it over & over again.

I would like to take this time out to say thank you. Y'all have helped me get my courage back. Thank you for helping me rescue my life back

Never actually been there, Called for help a few times and one time they called DCS on me..

They are liars n do not help I called for months trying to get in running from domestic violence n stalking the police has contacted these shelters n tell them who to let in n who not too I have been sleeping outside n… they still refused to help I had someone call after I called n they said they had no beds available m when she called n told them a lie I told her to tell them under a fake name they told her to come in n they'll help her n then I called back 5 mins later n they once again lied n said they had no beds available n I know she didn't reserve the bed cause I had her hang up before she told them what time she would make it in plus I had her use a fake lie n name just to catch them in their lies

Alright, I was a client there since December 19th, up until 3 days ago of March. So my case manager, he called the probation Officer Monday and says I'm being no compliant with the program and not going to my classes… which was reminded everyone through the audience. I got there December 19th.That means holidays for The staff get to go home early With the family as they deserve to it us addiction proto sit upstairs with no homework or nothing.I think it penalized for a while.You know where class was done in a certain time period which is crazy?Because before I got to the right

Awesome organization, Great People, Amazing Efforts/Results 👍🏼🫶🏼💯🫂

For anyone that comes across this and is thinking about going here, I'm praying for you and you will make it. I stayed here in 2019 coming from Atlanta. I’m back in Georgia now. Looking back, this place made me who I am… today. Yes the food sucked and all the women from the addictions side ate everything before our kids could eat, but everything has its pros and cons. They had music classes and children’s classes weekly. I rode on my first bus out there. lol. I made so many friends going through the same thing I was going through.(some I’m still in contact with) One of my roommates snuck in pizza one night in her backpack since we weren’t allowed to bring in outside food and we had the best time..we felt normal again. To all my past roommates, if you ever see this, I think about you often. And I want to thank the lady that runs the beautiful boutique that helps women with interview clothes. Take advantage of this!! She was amazing and made me feel so beautiful. I was interviewing at an elderly law firm at the time and was asked to come for a second interview. She gave me the most beautiful pant suits, purses and jewelry. I hope she’s doing well. Lastly, take advantage of all the assistance you can get in Indiana. Within 3 days, I had food stamps, medicaid and WIC. Also they paid for my daycare in full with a CAPS debit card. I don’t qualify for any of these things in Georgia. They say I make too much.

They failed to help a single mother in need. I will never donate or refer to them again. This establishment is a waste of time, money and resources.

Was escaping a domestic violence situation and was treated absolutely terribly by residents and staff on numerous occasions. Wasn’t allowed out for the night on Xmas eve to see my friend, and had been threatened by… someone and had a man break in. Not safe and the food is not only repetitive but they barely cater to people’s dietary needs such as mushroom allergies and dairy allergies. When asked if the food had mushrooms I was told “I don’t know gotta figure it out i guess” I’d rather not go into anaphylactic shock but thanks. It felt like being on the streets was better than being here on multiple occasions

Staff is awful. Place isn't safe or clean.

Bless them for the work they do for women here!

Newer facility built in 2017 to help local women in need of shelter and services. Thankful we have caring people and places like this in FW!
