The Salvation Army Bell Lighthouse Corps - Bell, California

This place is out of control!!! Security guards there do what they want to do there. Very unprofessional security guards corrupted with the homeless inside. It’s inside connection between the homeless that’s the show there. Unsafe Unsanitary conditions the homeless that don’tlike u or offer u will pour simen in the lotions spreading disease that’s have. There’s Favoritism in the inside. I don’t know why they help support the shelter they let drug dealers sell drugs in the property police don’t do nothing about it. The The counselor is supposed to be there to help you they’re not there to help you. When there’s a problem. No ever reports problems with others there. I was the first one. Nothings has changed I left the shelter because I was tired of people fighting with me

They are awesome beyond amazing, even on my low days. Being a veteran, being a person struggling with my own disability I feel seen, and receiving the help I need... despite my conscious efforts of struggling with what normality they understand better than any place that I have ever been. They help people on such a deeper level that I am not sure that they even know or notice. Well, I noticed, and I am so eternally grateful. Staff here are amazing, inspiring, patient, endearing, fun, funny, direct, and well defined. I've never fought so hard for my sobriety as I continue to do every day. Awesome case managers, and the security is squared away. They are a collective of realism led by an honor roll staff of great people. The church and counseling offered are so beyond exceptional. They want and allow people to find their purpose and reason to stay sober and excel. Thank you. ❤️

This was the best shelter I had been to in my experience. They really have alot of opportunities to be able to help yourself. Only a four because they could be a little more helpful with low income housing for all not just for vets and mental health. But they certainly give you enough time to save and find resources to be able to figure things out as long as you play by the rules. But it was a great place to start getting things together!

I was here about 7 years ago or so maybe less maybe a bit more when Santa Monica salvation rehab was staying there and had to make the commute each day... Wow amazing times we had there absolutely hilarious great times... Homeless people sucked as tho lol always coming into outlet dormes and stealing stuff didn't know how to act... Lol they hated us..

Won't give you pie in da sky. Some people will be a best friend and some will be your worst enemy. But it's still the best shelter program I think. Best advice is to stay in yo lane, pray, talk to the counselors , and just do you. Been out since 2012 . Was a great choice to go there.

Watch out for the gang stalking.
The real gang stalking like the one Ted Gunderson was talking about, not the chosen ones, tarot cards, religious/spirituality psyops.

this place deserves zero stars.

Edit: what I meant was, there were gang stalkers who worked here once, back when I was there (I don't know if they are still there, in 2023); I don't care if they are Christian or believed that they were, Christianity and real Gang Stalking, don't mix.

Gang Stalkers will target the poor and the disfranchised because they are less likely to be believed, have the tools, the money or the education to fight back.

The poor and the disfranchised are most likely to become their slaves aka proxies, doing the dirty-criminal works of their handlers and this place is a homeless shelter, so easy pickings.

We all know what MK-ULTRA was and it never stopped.

I was there when I was in a low point in my life; they were very helpful; 3 meals a day was not 'gourmet' but palatable and nutritious... The cot I slept on was comfortable, and locker provided was very practical and sufficient... Clean, safe environment; Big screen TV's and pool tables for recreation; vending machines & shopping centers all around with fast food facilities and other stores for convenience... Almost didn't want to leave, for they made me feel like I was cared for... Highly recommend if you are homeless and want a helping hand...
