Is this shelter safe? (Do not enter private information; it may be published.)
This shelter is very unsafe. The place that they house these women is the most unsafe place you can imagine. There are nothing but foreign men next door to these apartments that not only sell drugs but are very violent people. These men are on a 30-day rotation so they come in and party and trash these places for 30 days and a new group comes in the next 30 days and party for 30 days.

Do you know if they allow kids with their parents to stay here? (Do not enter private information; it may be published.)
They do allow women and children to live here. It is extremely unsafe because my girlfriend lives there and her daughter and these men videotape them from their windows and if the blinds are open these men look in the windows at night. These men party non-stop are loud and violent and look in windows at night time. Hope is aware of all the above and will not do a thing
