What Residents Report

Roxann Contreras and Susan earned five-star reviews for respectful, step-by-step guidance on housing rights and disability accommodations. However, multiple one-star reviews cite unresponsive staff (Ryan Mixon, Tomas Herrera), missed HUD deadlines, condescending phone responses, and unclear service limits. Reviews span six years with no recent positive trend.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

  • compassionate staff when available
  • guided clients through accommodation process
  • respectful and caring case workers
Watch-outs
  • unresponsive case workers
  • condescending phone staff
