Crossroads Ministries - Susanville, California

I enjoyed the daily services provided, as well as, the shelter portion. The staff members are professional to say the least and friendly.
I would highly recommend this program/shelter to anyone in need of recovery tools/breakfast, lunch or dinner/a place to sleep.

Great people! Kind hearts! If you are in need they will try there best to help you and say prayer with you. They offer meal every once in awhile and a food bag if hungry, they have even given me diapers before because I literally didn't know what to do and had no way to diaper my child for a week and gave my 2 older kids a jacket when we first moved here because we didn't expect it to be as cold as it was. Thank you for helping the community when they need it!

This is a self-help based, peer-staffed oasis of recovery. They offer many services, from shelter and food etc. for those experiencing homelessness, to education and counseling for a variety of personal problems. The staff and the program participants are all friendly and helpful.

We were told we could stay there and look for a place to stay and there was no time limit. Within 2.5 weeks, we were told we could stay 30 days. When we asked how we are supposed to save up a minimum of 1500 dollars in thirty days to cover move in costs, we were told to get a rental agreement. We agreed. My wife is in the hospital, facing gallbladder surgery, and we called and told Susan, their director what was up, the only thing she gave a damn about was that stupid rental agreement, and not a tinkers damn about the fact my wife was facing a high risk operation. There really needs to be an inspector to go in and see their habits in food preparation, and how it's served. No gloves,T or hair nets. That troll that works in the kitchen, ( Terry), who is mean and always puts her nose where it does not belong needs to find another line of work. She has proven to be anything except a Christian. She sent my wife on a wild goose chase after ordering me to not park in their parking lot, and when I confronted her, she smirked. Never once was I ever so tempted to hit a woman! I truly believe this place should be either more closely monitored, or shut down.
