Belinda's Place

Liars, Thieves. Don't do anything as promised and are so willing to make you homeless with a huge smile and rude comments

I thought they were good till I had my second stage worker threaten to put me in group home after suggesting they do newsletter for clients w resources. To have a unempathetic worker. We are just numbers thrown into 2nd stage wo any help resources when al for help they twist turn words around. I’m saddened that there are some great workers there but the one who deals w elderly is not one who should a she is not kind and we just a at check to her. She has met me maybe 4 x always cancelling mtgs so we have 0 chance of getting ahead when they themselves do not care. The only reason I gave 2* is cause workers in shelter are some really good people

You will Never get help with housing. Staff will ignore you. They only let you stay for 30 days then your on the street. Everyone has been jumping from shelter to shelter instead of getting the help they Need! A home! How can you call it a homeless shelter you can't afford market rent but it's been 30 days they got funding for you from the Salvation army and York region. That's All they care about is getting their funding so they have jobs. Your nothing to them. Even when they speak nice they seem really interested in helping you. It's a lie! Most staff members talk and laugh about the homeless residents they think behind their backs. Someone always hears but they still don't care cause they'll just kick you out and replace you within hours. Someone needs to push the staff to actually work and help people get a place not kick them to the curb!

I live near this shelter and my neighbourhood has never had any problems with the tenants and we've had no disruptions at all, and absolutely no issues of safety. However, I am worried about the tenants having seen their reviews of this place and talked to one of them. This is an important institution for our community to have and I welcome it wholeheartedly, but I hope the people running it are treating their tenants well and I hope they are aware of their responsibility to protect their tenants.

all of Belinda's staffs are rude talkers and liarsthey kick restrict inncocent people !yesterday when i called there was a staff named eruba she's a disrespectful person and today when i called to speak with management tiffany didn't give it to management either they hire understanding staffs or get replaced by new ones i have proof of phone recordings !

Staff threw away my item that I wasn't allowed to have on 3rd floor shelter :( I really didn't like that

The staff here use favoritism too often and it is not fair during this pandemic! There's no free will on being able to have access to do their own ESSENTIAL grocery shopping for TOILET PAPER, FOOD, or for simply a walk of fresh air to debrief and get a peace of mind. Taking care of your mental health is essential too, and feeling like your in a prison does not help! There should be a way to get atleast a 10 minute walk a day... Is this going to be the way of living for the next 5 months till whenever?

Unless you actively use dope and alcohol or a favourite of the shelter managers don't bother asking for help. Ex outreach worker, the current shelter manager has lost clients belongings if he didn't give it to other clients.

I staid at Belinda's on the 3'rd floor transitional housing unit for exactly one week from Monday May 8 until Sunday May 14, 2023. During that week I paid my $300 rent early, while being told by residents on the second floor who are in a shelter and pay nothing to stay in such beautiful accommodations, that I am not allowed to eat food from their" fridge. This is after staff told me that I am entitled to 3 free meals a day for my first 2 weeks there.I was working two jobs and doing my most to just adjust and hang in there. However

Lots of good laughs &many tears as we r human,we get one on one therapy if we desire to learn coping skills.Unfortantly there is not enough affordable housing for us women&so many more.Tragic
