Pros
I loved working with the homeless men population. Most of them are very appreciative of the case management services I provided to them in assistance getting them housing.
Cons
Staff is somewhat lazy and doesn't want to do more work than the next person. The clients get away with doing a lot of unacceptable things with no repercussions. Many clients enter the shelter program with drug issues and mental health problems, that need to be worked on and address prior to providing the client with housing. Common Ground is only concerned with getting them house so they can benefit off of the money they receive for each placement. In most cases clients become homeless again in less than a year.
