Since we have heard this from at least three separate women who say their experiences encompass between 2 years and a couple months ago, we are posting a complaint from the street about PATH-Glendale.
According to our sources on the street PATH's GLENDALE location will intake you any time, and they allude to being able to provide you shelter on the phone. THEY CANNOT SERVE NEAR AS MANY PEOPLE AS THEY HAVE TRAVELING ALL THE WAY OVER THERE!
According to M, who was interviewed in Sun Valley Park, "That receptionist has the same rap. She's a liar. I'm not the only one who has used their last 5 bucks to get all the way over there, thinking they were going to shelter me, and nothing."
We think the receptionist is giving the same assuring rap to all callers, just to get them in there for the intake, and management has to know, they cannot offer help to the majority of applicants.
We hear it's because they get money every time they intake, even if they do not serve you. (Anyone at Path want to say yes or no to that?)
Once you have done their paperwork it's in the computer and NOW YOU ARE A PART OF A COUNTY-WIDE SYSTEM that recognizes you as homeless. PART OF A PUBLIC DATABASE! Go find a job!
Six months of the year the only shelter they can send you to is their own, which serves under 50 men, women, and children with an emphasis on people who are working. As soon as the Glendale Armory opens, which will be November 1st, that's where you are likely to go and where they will swarm looking for people who are working. After that they will have you come in or their "outreach" will even drive over and get you and your bags, saying "worst case scenario you'll be at the Armory."
THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE THE MAJORITY END UP!
