    I am in a very unfortunate situation as a result of a sever injury. I am unemployed for the first time in my life and could use some help. I went to the facility described above only to be told that there is no help here unless you are homeless, when you loose your home come back and see us and I have heard othe rumors over the years of the Director using his position to gain sexual favor from young dumd, homeless and scared females

    I wouldn't give street reach the praise. The program director, William Wooden, is a joke. He's on a power trip. I was a "resident"(if that's what you want to call it) and was treated like trash. Will even called me a free loader. Here's the kicker, I'm pregnant with twins. He put me out. He's got this one girl who hit me in the stomach, in there giving him daily blow jobs to stay in there. I can't even go in there to eat. I think the public should know what they do to the homeless in the "mission". They, take the donations and pocket them. I think that is really bad when they will put a pregnant woman out in the cold because she don't have a job. Over half the population of Street Reach don't have a job. But they will put a prgnant woman out because she don't have a job. WILLIAM WOODEN IS PREJUDICE!!!!!!!!!
