Pros

Staff helping people find permanent housing have an extremely difficult job, which they do well. They are often very dedicated and committed to the goal of housing people with special needs.

Cons

With government funds paying for housing and services, fundraising is directed toward inflated administrative salaries, not client needs. Dysfunctional, toxic culture on the administrative level keeps org from being more effective. Zero interaction between field staff and admin contributes to culture of resentment and distrust. Other housing orgs do more with less. "Office staff" are paid relatively well; people doing the hard work on the streets (often people of color) earn subsistence wages.
