Pros

None? Really, it's just really bad. They're awful to staff and even worse to residents.

Cons

LIHI in Seattle has received criticism from residents and former residents who have had negative experiences. Some of the issues reported include unresponsive staff, lack of support services, and untrained or abusive staff members. There have been instances where deaths in the villages went undiscovered for extended periods, and residents were not offered counseling or support after these incidents. Additionally, residents have reported being evicted without cause or due process, and there is no clear grievance or appeal process in place. Furthermore, there is a high rate of staff turnover, and residents have reported a lack of mental health support and a culture of neglect. These issues have led to a negative perception of LIHI's services and management. If they weren't a non-profit, they wouldn't last. They run off and profit from federal grant money, but don't run any of their housing developments well. There's rampant favoritism, racism, discrimination, for both staff and residents.

Pros

It's union, Case Managers have their own offices, their is alot of self management and autonomy. Case Managers are payed a livable wage.

Cons

Managers are stretched thin between alot of sites and promotions are hard to come by, the operations management system is corrupt and covers up wrong doings by other management in operations. Dealing with operations is difficult but fortunately they're not managing case managers but it sucks to see how their staff are treated in the shelter. Theirs not alot of growth opportunities for shelter staff and minimal training often just online moduals. Alot of sites have this weird mentality about not handing out narcan so that people don't think it's a hub for narcan. Absolutely crazy to be a low barriers shelter that had to fight to even have narcan on-site let alone needle containers. The operations manage brought his best friend to work who knew our clients it was a hippa violation and wildly uncomfortable. mold in the building is so bad multiple staff have developed a cough that won't go away.
