Its been more than 8 years since I was there so I can only comment on that time and overall it was a really good experience for being what it was

Very helpful and prettiest staff place is nice and clean

The worst place Ive ever been to. That place needs to do better for the ones who stay there. The food is always overcooked over undercooked. I have gotten food poisoning from them three times. They have bedbugs. The staff and security are disrespectful even if you show them respect. I dont see how people could really give them good ratings for how they run that place, treat people, and not to mention other serious concerns.

Very good situations

I wish I could rate this place 0 stars.ANYONE thats spoken highly of this place either never stayed there or works there. The entire place/staff needs an overhaul desperately! I used to stay here and it felt more like a federal prison rather than a transitional home. The staff is more concerned with bullying and micro-policing their residents. Especially Cheryl Carter (security), who once threatened to put every resident outside until she got off work OVER A FEW PIECES OF TRASH. There are a few great staff members (shoutout to Ms Alysha and Cheyenne) but everyone is twisted. Any organization that sponsors this place needs to take a closer look at what these residents go through. The people who still live there are scared to speak up because they dont want lose their bed. Please RUN!

The premise behind Transitions is a good one. The actual result is a failure.

Im not in the shelter, but I have someone I know there. Im very grateful that they were able to take him in and help him. They have gave him so much hope and appreciation that people do care.I see most of the reviews are negative.They are doing the best they can and you must do your part. Dont lash out try and help them help you make it a better place. Its a warm place with food trying to get people in need in a better place.God bless.

I was homeless off and on for about 5 years if it wasnt for transitions I dont know what I would have done I would have been on the streets which I was on the streets for 8 months I didnt think I was going to make it but I did while in transition I was approved for a organization called Mirci they put me in a appartment I was put on a list but I made it and now Im in my apartment and I love it

This place has the most disrespectful staff and security.. They think because people are homeless and in need of help they can talk and treat them any kind of way.. You give them respect and they still disrespect and be rude to you because their title say staff or security.. Someone please do something about the there staff and this place would be a much better place to come for help..

This institution is lacking in consistency. A printed set of rules and guidelines is sorely needed.Though they accept handicapped individuals, they lack even the most basic of amenities for the blind.

There is a lot of people who care about Homeless who they provide services for.

I think this is a great idea for folks that have a problem getting into a place... Just think there should have more around so not over crowded.

I have a friend that entered this facility and she is doing great. The resources they offer have been helping her get back on her feet and back to better health. I hope others are taking the same initiative to get themselves back on track and loving better.

Dropped someone off there;they help the homeless.

Worst place Ive ever been to in my life. THE STAFF IS HORRIBLE. They dont care about you at all. Theyre there to get paid not to inspire you or help serve your needs. This place is very deceiving. There needs to be a huge change within the whole organization. The staff will treat everyone like youre on drugs with no obligations (job). Very gross place as well with horrible sanitation requirements. Fights happen a lot with disrespectful people everywhere. Got out as soon as possible.

Good people with a great mission. Working hard to make a change in many people’s lives! Keep up the awesome work!

Volunteer here for Salvation Army. Rosemary is funny and very sharp, running a tight schedule for serving food. Wishing these people hope and inspiration. No one knows whats on someones mind or in their past to get them to this spot in their lives.

They can do so much better with the people

Applied to the job and had an interview today at 11. I called earlier at 9 to double check the time so I can arrive at least 30 mins earlier. I got a call back stating my interview was canceled because if I was serious about the job I wouldve remembered and Im in college and this is a full time position. I understand what the title entails. I applied to help this community I dont like to be given reasons like that when Im told my interview is canceled. Just thought I voice my experience.

I came here with my Job to Feed the individuals in the Facility breakfast on Thanksgiving. I was very thankful for them allowing me to do such task and Touched to see so many faces that dont have family, friends or Homes. It hit harder when I saw someone that worked with for a couple years , come to receive a plate of food from our line. I was kind of Upset that there wasnt enough food quantity, but plates were still filled for there to be 3 rounds of food given for those who wanted more. I will actually be back After Christmas.

It is a wonderful place to start over... If you need help there are programs designed to meet your needs.... No one said it would be easy .... Putting for effort brings forth great rewards

Its not what you would would have somewhere to stay at I stayed there and did not like it got treated like a dog they treat you like youre not a human being no respect whatsoever

I never ever want to remember my time there. I cried almost every night.

A awesome place if you are homeless

I stayed here once when I got stranded in Columbia. Its NOT what the picture insinuates. Just imagine sleeping in a dorm of 30 homeless people with colds, the flu, hepatitis, going through withdrawals, Tuberculosis ECT. And going in the bathroom to get away from all the madness to discover a group of addicts smoking crack and heroin. Not to mention a guy ODd in my dorm on my 3rd day there and died.......smh, Needs better management.

Homeless shelter that provides a safe living environment and helps you get back on your feet

I appreciate the service they provide our community

Transitions is a great place it will help you return to society with all the necessary resources you need as long as you develop a realistic and obtainable goal for yourself transitions will assist

Does a good job providing a needed service

This place is supposed to help the homeless in appropriate living placement. My living area had Bed bugs infested. The staff that yelled/screamed at me ( Ms Tamara ) was very disrespectful to me. My caseworker Mr Trey Washington knows that I dont bother no one nor do I talk to anyone with hatred / yelling when I communicate with them. This place only helps the picked and choosed/favoritism.. this place is definitely unorganized & not safe for people are actually rebuild they life in a productive manner.

This place is a total disaster, the staff are horrible people. They make you feel lower than you feel already by being homeless. The security is deplorable, the case workers are incompetent, and the program is designed only to rake in donations. They care nothing about people, just profits. The only, and I mean only person on the staff that is a true professional is Charles Chuck Crumpton. He is a saint, and shouldnt waste his time, or intellect on this horrific place. He is the only one who cares about people. I could list name after name of insidious staffers, but will give you the worst five. Starting from the worst. (Only have first names of several because they dont want you knowing too much about them)1. Alicia Wilkes2.Miriam (Womens Program)3. Alicia (Youth Case Mgr.)4. Mrs. English (Long Term)5. Chapel (Security)These people represent not only the worst of Transitions, but the worst of humanity. They should all have to live there, and feel what its like to be kicked while youre already down. They should be removed from their positions immediately, and should never work with the public again. Shame on you Transitions for letting their lack of human decency continue.

Burlington has great prices

The staff was rude and they are constantly trying to find a way to kick people out. the staff and volunteers really need to get some sensitivity training if they are going to keep working with the homeless community.

Wonderful Facility, Love the work we do there.

Trust in God and get out of there as fast as you can even if you have to walk 100s of miles as I did, the staff is very unprofessional and will not hesitate to put you right back out on the streets when your time comes, I have No respect for them and Im sure they will reap what they sow!

Thank you for everything I love yall

Helpful place and can set a person on the right path to succeed.

Went to drop off some clothes and food.

Im 2months away from having my first son, and ive been in this shelter 1 month and a half, ive been exposed to bed bugs that wont go away.. You ask for them to treat your bed for bed bugs and they tell you if its after hours just wait until in the morning. Ive went through this process 3 times.. Told staff they are all in the walls of the facility. As well as made a suggestion to treat the whole dorm at once instead of one bed only when reported. The staff is very rude, not only rude... But try their best to offend you in any type of way.... From how you talk to how you look or dress. Now we are here to try to better ourselves but need resources and support as well. Im a diabetic prior to my pregnancy my dovtor has sent 3 notices to them about my health and diet. Yet nobody has acknowledged anyone in my doctors office or approved anything. Yet im still getting sick from the half cooked and half spoiled food that we are fed here.... Yet we cant bring our own food into this place. This place is a disappointment. And needs to have classes for their staff on professionalism and equal opportunity... I just really want those staff to know they could end up in all of our shoes. I wish they could switch positions and see what and how they do us. They wouldnt like it at all.

Great place to get back on your feet. If you have a good mindset and keep to yourself its helpful.

Nice clean facility! Friendly staff... I truly enjoy volunteering here!

Nice place if you have no where else to stay and homeless yet alot of drama too but that is everywhere cant hang with drama then you dont need to be here for sure

I survived. I am praying for all the men and women who are still struggling.

Its the best place to be if your very serious about getting your life together.

One of the best places to launch from rock bottom, to Dreams do come true !

THE STAFF IS SO SO GREAT WILLING TO GO UP AND ABOVE LONG AS THE INDIVIDUAL IS WILLING TO BUT FORTH THE EFFORT. HIP HIP HIP HIP. PROGRAM DORM WHAT IT DO.. BED 206

Not great, not horrible. Has good food, but you have to deal with a lot of drama on a daily basis

Great place for homeless to start transitioning back into life

Great place for those who are interested in making a change in there life. This is a place for those who are trying to transition from their former way of life.

Seems like a nice enough place. Im not there enough to see if people actually get transitioned back into the work force, but at least they provide a warm place to stay at night

Sucked they only cater to the mentally insane. If you are stable and just need a place to stay go anywhere else. If you are crazy and get a disability check for your illness then go here.

Recovery.... A personal as well as community reflection into Life. The sanctuary found at Transitions, is 100% , a workable experience.

WOW! Was I surprised at the work they do. After a tour, it made me a supporter of them, and I will be donating clothes and other items to them, as well as encouraging others to do the same.

It is an awesome place for people who are trying to get their lives together

Pittyful uncareing staff that treat the needy as less than ... very little to no real help here except a meal and a meal. The little black guy that wears boots and large belt buckles over emergency dorm is a no help Jerk. He wont return your calls follow up on anything or take time to talk to you.he is an overpaid janitor

If you are homeless and in need of a bead this is the place to good.they feed you give you clothes help yo find a job give you transportation.good place

Good place to get back on your foot.

This place is okay but you need to be prepared not to get stuck in this situation

You are not on the street, and you can get your life turned in a good direction. you can get a job, and get the help you need.

Great people doing a great service.

Not handicapped accessible because my legally blind condition.

Nice people with good intentions

Good place however the worker need to be more in tune with service than power and disrespectful attitudes towards homeless patrons.

Love how yall do your thang

Its alright

Its a place to get you to a place of your own

Rude staff who treat homeless people like trash, if they didnt want to help people they should work somewhere else.

MUST pay monthly RENT of $250 on the 1st of each month of stay after 1st 30 days in emergency dorm. Each dorm holds 31 males. And 31 females in separate dorms. Must leave dorms each morning at 8:30 a.m or be kicked out of shelter. Must be in bed at 10pm for nightly bed count , or kicked out of shelter for 30 days. Must go to classes MON-SAT, or kicked out of shelter. MUST do daily room chores and shelter community chores, or kicked out of shelter. MUST report to dorm manager once a week with proof you did ALL chores and classes, or kicked out of shelter for 6 MONTHS or more.

Great place to start over again and again. Place of second chances.

The food is horrible stale sometimes over cook as well as under cooked. The case managers really dont care about the people who are there trying to get their lifes together. Transitions only cares about how much money each client can provide. There are more drugs sold inside that place than outside on the streets. Some of the counselors try to set you up for failure. They are a very bytes place its all about the color of your skin and how much money you can pay them in order to keep your bed. If your working they take at least half your check just so you can keep your bed. The place sucks and doesnt truly help people they hinder them more than help.

Friendly and inviting

Great prices and the best service

Needs work some staff helpful some not

Theres no place like home when life doesnt work out!

Craig and all the employees have a hard and rewarding job.

Cant think of a better place when ur down and out

Good for getting off the streets

It works if you work it.

I lived there for 7 months when I hit rock bottom and got back on my feet.

Issues.

They have a vending machine and a change machine and on call help.

Helping the community is always a big factor its special

A place where you can change your life!

It is a nice place.

Good place to start over

We drop our staff member off there what a great organization and my hat goes off to them

Great cause and workers.

Food is awful old stale and very unhealthy,the atmosphere is negative feel it should be caterogorize with the non-users from the users,the program needs to help those whom are really trying to get their life in order.counselors are non chalant and are just there for a paycheck, the dorm needs more blankets sheets and pillows and the beds need to be sprayed with bleach whatever to keep germs down.

CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS LAGGING A LITTLE!!

Seems to be a well run establishment

Staff very unfriendly and less than helpful...smh.

This is the worst place to live. The staff suck. The facilities are slack. Its bugs everywhere. They nees to shut this place down.

Poor services provided.

I dont want to talk about it...

When I got there they didnt have a bed.

They could help people more than what they do

Good security

The only way you can get back on your feet is to make a plan follow it and if you come to a problem ask for help if that person cant help you go to someone else nothing In life is truly appreciated if you dont get it yourself transition may not give you what you want but it seems that you get what you need so its all up to you.so I am glad that its here.

Staff is rude and not very helpful. Feels like your entering a prison when you arrive. Staff knows nothing or says they know nothing about local resources for families in crisis situations. Disorganized and nonchalant attitude from entire staff.

Good place for the homeless
