S. T.

My daughter and I resided in transitional housing provided by CFLS from 2009 to 2011. The staff were very supportive of us during this challenging time. I became unemployed, lost my apartment and began staying with family and friends, which didn't work-out too well and needed a place to stay. I contacted the Virginia Williams Resource Center on Rhode Island Avenue, and was assigned a case worker who referred me to CFLS. During my time in transitional housing, I remained focused on my short-term goals, which were to find employment with a decent salary to support my daughter and I and to finally move into another more comfortable apartment. Although it was challenging going through this transition, it helped me to build character and made me mentally and spiritually stronger. It also allowed me to have compassion for people who are experiencing life challenges, mainly homeless people. You never know what happened to put them in their current position. So, please try not to judge them.

It's not bad. It's a small playground area with a few sliding boards and three swings (1 for toddlers and two for older kids). Also has a couple benches for parents to sit and watch their kids. My granddaughter appears to have a great time whenever I take her.

Great place to worship and to get your praise on.
