The Other Ones Foundation Info | Compare Moving Quotes

I volunteered at this place and all I can say is that I’m sad. I witnessed one of the other employees dealing drugs to these poor homeless people when we should be helping them. When I asked his name, he said it was Ruben Flores And I didn’t know who to talk to about this I’ve called the volunteer foundation and they have not done anything so I’m very disappointed

I loved it! After my wife Trina agreed, and extensive procedural paperwork hurdles were overcome, and signed. Me and, my wife Trina Bright (A.K.A. - Momma T), moved into the Esperanza Community. We live here now.

Probably a fine organization with okay people except for one person... Eric Daniels.... He over sees homeless people getting free showers around 8th St in Downtown Austin... Is this person really wired to "help" anyone but himself? I don't think so... I was on the premises once eating lunch on a curb minding my own business when Eric rolled in, in his falling apart, Ford P/U Truck telling me to go sit somewhere else. Then he tried backing his truck up against my head. I refused to move, so he got out of his truck and started yelling at me and threatening me if I didn't get a shower or leave the grounds.... I refused, so he got in his truck and started backing it up. If I wouldn't have moved he would have ran me over... Is this anyone's idea if "helping"?! I don't think so.....

The other ones foundation are not allowing visiters unless you are with one of the possible donor tours.They have not been accepting residents for quite some time and as soon as the HUD grants came through they started evicting residents based on trumped up charges giving them a couple hours to leave the property. These are people that have been here for years awaiting the housing they were promised. There is so little progress being made on the construction and so few residents are being housed it leaves one to wonder where all that money is being spent. However I agree the staff are super friendly so much so they often spend the majority of their shifts chatting and being friendly to each other. Which leaves me wondering how they have such poor communication between departments when they are always standing around talking. Case in point they are forcing residents to sign program agreements that state they have provided heaters and fire extinguishers for the structures and through some oversight neglected to do that. When confronted after a very cold weekend they seemed confused as if they were unaware of any of it. yet after installing some of the heaters they stopped and have yet to provide any more and still havent handed out a single fire extinguisher. I was thrown out the day before thanksgiving for pointing out the oversight initially on false charges. It was so cold and rainy. Im grateful for what the foundation is attempting to do I just hope an organization is brought in to manage before all the funding is misappropriated. This place could be a real blessing to our unhoused neighbors if their were strong leadership in place.
