This place is the worst place to go for help..Mary Lou is nasty, heartless, has know empathy, and if you are about to get evicted...well that's on you..you should have been on time for you appointment...that is on you if your about to be homeless because being on time matters more than become evicted....And this is supposed to be a religious catholic service provider for low income families 😟 I noticed that caucasian people are the only ones praising this place in the comments
