Mold growth in the mens showers, they are paranoid of mice so no bringing food in, food made me very ill, bad diaharrea. I have better conditions living at a bus stop.

Lacks profession and control of establishment, a bit nasty, poorly managed, rude and disorder staff members and consumers. I would rather go back to sleeping outside due to the level of care that facility is ran with met the manager today and shes terrible as well hospitality sucks overly hard boiled eggs all jokes aside.

Enjoyed passing out snack bags. Plan to go back. Hate that food is still taboo.

I was volunteering at Franciscan Outreach, Marquard Center on Le Moyne street but it was closed 2 years ago. I would like to volunteer again one day!

Nearby food pantry was a god send but you need a 311 referral if you need emergency shelter

Great place if your homeless especially staff Mr. Johnson is a great supervisor

Doesnt look like a nice place

They have bedbugs and the staff fights the homeless people who live here and they steal peoples mail

I delivered bed frames there. Stuff is very kind and helpful.

Great to much red tape.

What a blessed place. So much hurting meeting so much caring. This place takes the lowest of the low and gives them food and a place to sleep, without demanding anything. People can stay here as long as they want (some for decades) as long as they meet a few simple rules, like no violence, no major intoxication and they come and go on time.The night managers are extremely caring and know 100’s of homeless people, not only by name but much about there life.I’m blessed to meet and help this part of society that most people would rather avoid.

This place has gotten much worse than it ever was. Im surprised it is still open. Infested with bugs. Absolutely infested. Intolerable even for one nights sleep. You are better off outside than trying to sleep in this place.

Good for assistance when you need a check, but food, no, bed bugssss

30 years of connections to the good work of this place

Low barrier shelter, good case management, open 24 hours

A place to lay your head when you dont have one. Wouldnt recommend it to anyone if they could avoid it, and suggest you avoid it at all costs because once you get to the point where you need a shelter its hard to come back... only been on the street for a week but have talked to guys (and women) whove been doing it for years. Make good decisions with your life. Or live in fear of bedbugs and hope for a free meal...

The staff was very nice and straight to the point about the rules, but the beds......the bed had either blood stains or bedbug droppings on them. They gave you clean linen to put on top of the mess....I couldnt do it.... I had to leave....I would rather sleep in my car!!!!! Also, that picture is not how the actual church / shelter look like either...😡😠😠😷

Cordial and enviting staff, Some beds & some cots, showers, rules & regulations to follow as a condition of lodging, housing assistance available, case managers on site daily, meals, clothing donations available, NO ALCOHOL OR ILLICIT DRUGS ON PREMISES. Day programs offered to long-term lodgers.

One Of The Shelter That Helps A lot Of Ppl From Chicago Homeless God Bless Them And Keep Up The Good Work.

Very caring helpful people who remember you and show empathy. Theyll help with free state ID along with numerous helpful referals on housing and other issues of human needs like food, clothing, and more.

This is one of the Most filthy places one can find shelter at. Its bedbug with dust mites AND only The Most High knows whatever else bug infected.

Friendly and appreciative homeless people

Instead of complaining, pissing and moaning appreciate what this place has done. They give food and shelter to those who have nothing else. If you dont like the beds then donate money to get better ones.

There are some issues in the neighborhood but there are in society, and in Chicago...the staff are generally good to me

Good place too get off streets good food mostly

Not the best place in the world. But its needed.

Franciscan Outreach was a place that I seeked out, after not hearing back from Breakthrough in East Garfield Park. I applied over a months time for a volunteer spot at Breakthrough, and still have not heard back, which made me contemplate why. All I wanted to do was volunteer my extra time in-between working my normal job to help those in need, and Franciscan Outreach has given me that opportunity. My volunteer application was approved in less than 48 hours at Franciscan Outreach.Another thing that made me excited about Franciscan Outreach was that they had a location within East Garfield Park, which is what I overall wanted because the its closer, plus the homeless population in this neighborhood has truly suffered throughout many decades, and what better start and way to give back to this community.I have to say that after setting my first volunteer date, it was very heartwarming reading majority of the Google reviews from those that have been serviced, but distasteful reading some of the reviews from certain locals living in the neighborhood sector of Franciscan House of Mary & Joseph.Outside of serving 200 + on my first evening at Franciscan House of Mary & Joseph, I learned quite a bit about the shelter itself, and the staff that keeps things flowing. In the meantime, I look forward to doing more with Franciscan Outreach on my days off from work.Thomas Gouard

A community of people getting at the best they can. Also, there is free medical consultation services on Tuesday nights.

Friendly place I noticed staff was courteous to those in need

Their doing a great thing there!!!!

Its an okay place. Very nice people though.

This is the ONLY place in Chicago for the homeless to go. trust me, I had to check around for my friend, and thank god for this place, Chicago needs more like it. I mean it is a negative that you have to wake up so early in the morning to leave. The only reason why I didn’t give it 5 stars is because there is crime around that area...while my friend was staying there, someone was stabbed - outside of the building when they were let out in the morning and some of the homeless did try to steal from the others.

That help people going Thu plomlems

While this place fills a lot of people’s human needs, the Catholic Church damns people to Hell with their false gospel and false Jesus.Matthew 15:8-9

The staff doesnt care. That there are bedbugs in the beds .i told staff but nothing is being done. There everywhere

BLESS THEIR HELPDUL SOULS

They provide a place for people without looking down on them. Social services available for those who actually want some assistance.

If you want bedbugs AND any other kind of sickness from a mass variety of people off the streets with no medical care

I am working with the homeless at this location. I got a chance to ho inside a meet some of the staff.

Nice ppl

Its ok thank God for this place

I believe it should be more resources to help this Hispanic people I protest to the indifferent treatment

Great

Franciscan House of Mary and Joseph is an Emergency Homeless Shelter.
