Female Day Staff act like children in school, smile in your face and talk about you. The rules dont apply to all and the programs listed are not active. I heard it was once an Awesome place but fell off of having people who care. I met 2 people who cared and Lord knows they deserve better pay. I hope they change for the better again.

Circle of life was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. I would not recommend to any one trying to get their life in order. The working men go on the women’s unit without warning, the workers steal your belongings, I’ve had workers throw food away that I was collecting because it’s been in the pantry too long, they yell in residents face, they go through your stuff, and they may kick you out without telling you the reason why. It’s also dirty overall. A lot of the areas in the building smell like mold. The workers have no respect for the residents so arguments always over escalate, they don’t provide you with food that’s not expired and they are picky and choosy with who they really help. 0 out of 10

My name is Tyrone Davis. I was s resident here back in 2016. Their staff was just wonderful. The place is top-notch!! It doesn't even look like a shelter. Very clean. The best shelter in Newark and "probably" within Essex County itself!!!! The lady who runs this shelter ["The Owner"] goes by the name of Ms. J, who should've been widely recognized by Newark's City Hall and the Mayor for a wonderful job well done. This lady has done wonders for that shelter. She and her staff ["both past and present"] are "very" professional, respectable, and definitely caring!!!! I hope Newark's mayor reads this message. He needs to put Ms. J on his Cabinet, putting her in charge of curbing our homeless problem. I guarantee you that she'd get the job done by "seriously" helping the precious homeless folks put there on the streets. I wish that there was a "Ms. J " spirit within "EVERY" owner that owns shelters in Newark!!!!!! God bless that lady!!!!!

So far just arrived here yesterday due to something that had occurred with my temporary loss of debit card funds, a lady working here says she has more power than any other staff and told me to move from one side to the other because a letter from my Dr. to rest needed to be redone three times.. no regard for how I feel physically or medically....Hear this place makes a positive difference aside from this happening the rest of the place seems great, have yet to meet Ms. Jay...trying to hang in...can and will edit/change this review as hopefully the situation changes for the better....?

Miss Jay will teach you simple values that help you build a foundation for a better future. She is tough but she is 100% fair to all her clients and staff. I wouldn’t be where I am at today without the help of Cirlce Of life. Work at a great job, college degree, House in Guangzhou China. It all started with the simple values of life.
Ps.
I still make my bed every morning.
