I thought they were here to help the homeless. But they only move them into places and give out false documents to get them placed. After placing a homeless person, they leave them to be evicted and give them advise like stay until you are evicted. They are in the business to get money from the county for misplacing homeless for short periods then they will be homeless again and they get the opportunity to do it again. They should loose their county or any other funding as they are not actually helping but making it so landlords have to make sure not to rent to their program. It is sad that Montgomery County and other agency fund them to basically use the money incorrectly!!!

I reside in a private building right next door to a newly acquired and renovated 6 apartment shelter building operated by MONTGOMERY COUNTY and MCCH. It is terrible what the incompetent and unresponsive MANAGEMENT of Montogomery County Coalition for the Homeless (MCCH) allow residents to do without recourse. There are police cars outside the building a minimum of 2 - 3 times/week because of the mayhem happening inside the shelter walls. I will say most of the residents appear to keep to be law abiding and repectful residents but there are the 2-3 ring leaders in the building that obviously run things...... outside there are non-resident males hanging outside in the afternoons and evenings, loud music blaring from their cars, disruptive residents opening our back gate and just walking straight into our backyard which is private property inspite of the "NO TRESSPASSING" sign on the gate in full view. The same 2-3 ringleaders open the gate and walk in to grab our water hose, walk around to do who knows what else - explore? Supermarket shopping carts left on the street, beer cans, baby diapers, other trash just left in the driveway, beer drinking and weed smoking on the front steps, little kids (I mean 2-3yrs old!) playing in the operational DRIVEWAY even though they have a backyard, a consistently sloppy drunk female resident sits on the front outside shared steps smoking cigarettes while the tobacco smoke drifts straight into my living room window, screaming and cursing residents in the day, night and hours in between. I am verbally harrassed and physically threatened by disruptive residents for asking them to keep the noise down, stay out of our backyard and not smoke in the shared outdoor steps. The landlord of my building has contacted MCCH to ask for intervention but no assistance or response. I live on a normally quiet deadend street EXCEPT for the homeless shelter that produces all the noise, all the fighting, all the police cars, all the stress, etc. on our normally quiet street. And guess what else? Every other day, MOCO stupidly uses TAXPAYER money to pay for a cleaning lady to come and clean the newly renovated/modernized shelter building..... I guess because unemployed, homeless adults might be too busy or too fragile to clean up after themselves while they barbeque in the backyard. Hey MOCO, forget about cleaning services and use taxpayer money to educate your residents on acceptable community living and how to keep boundaries BEFORE you place them in shelters next door to private residents i.e. no tresspassing, cigarrette smoking in shared public areas, music levels to a minimum, etc. and hold them accountable or EVICT them. So that one day, when/if they get out of the shelter they will actually understand and appreciate what it means to live in a community where everyone is responsibe for a clean, mentally healthy and calm environment and not a damn hell hole that MOCO has created and that Maryland taxpayers foot the bill for.

Nothing has changed, The MCCH is still sending me disreputable text to my questions of why they are using HUD 2015 expired form to calculate my rent. During this COVID19 pandemic I cant get out to gi to the grocery store due to preexisting conditions. My housing subsuidized by moco Maryland MCCH has no lease with the property management. HUD isn't able to help because the MoCo HHRS contracts organizations not applicable to be independently monitored or audited

Program director, Leigh, is incredibly rude and condensing to residents of Seneca Heights apartments. Drugs run rampant in our building. Staff definitely plays favorites with other residents. The rules that they haven't please just don't apply to everyone. residents involved in the tenant council are allowed to basically do what they want and go where they want in the building without being called on either side and they're allowed to go into the storage room and take whatever toiletries and other supplies that they want members of the council have stolen money from the treasury there still a part of the council

Promotes HOC fraud by allowing multiple people live in individual units while not caring or assisting those who work or are trying to get off of government assistance. None of these people are required to receive treatment although these units are for those with a disability. Waste of taxpayer money and not a solution for the homeless

They have some of the worst people who managed buildings and clients. They are full of BS they don't solve tenant issues. Very unhelpful, they ignore all plea to resolve ongoing issues with problems . They actually protect those tenant who break all the rules and cause property damage constantly and,,, and do not care if this endangers the lives and safety of others who live in the apartment building. They absolutely do not care about people that are actually decent people and want to make something better out of themselves. These are some of the most incompetent corrupt and absolutely full of BS people I have ever seen
