Community Place of Greater Rochester

★work Yt

There are two middle aged black women who sit at the front desk eating Dunkin’ Donuts and are unable to direct or assist with anything resources. There was a young black male sitting behind the desk with them playing on his phone again doing nothing productive. I really hope this is volunteer work because the amount of lazy unbothered “workers” you have in this “community center” is alarming and concerning especially since they are catering to the underserved people in the area. Next, it doesn’t bother me to take my groceries that were given freely to my mode of transportation, but I do have an issue when the young black worker without asking or offering immediately takes the white lady’s groceries to her vehicle. The case worker Tarniesha with the dreadlocks and the young black girl both stood there and said bring back the cart when you’re done taking your groceries. Not once did they offer to help me lift anything not knowing that I could be disabled and can’t lift heavy items. It’s a shame when discrimination and hatred are experienced from your own race/ethnic group. This community center needs to audited and perform layoffs starting with the five employees I spoke about and their unprofessional behavior. Community centers are meant to help people develop and grow, instead this center has unprofessional, heartless, ignorant, and lazy people that should be fired. At this point, the employees mentioned above are beyond reformative training; finding a new team of dedicated helpful workers will help restore the area.

I reached out to the Comm. Place by phone un response to funding they received for a 55+ mentoring program THREE times over 8 weeks by phone and THREE times I was directed to a voice mail. They NEVER returned my call. I left my info twice in the last two messages. They are ghosting for the right "type" to fit the funding. If you want to report discrimination. malfeasance, misappropriation of funds and get info on actively defunding the Community Place of Rochester, NY then may I suggest turning to these sources: Department of Justice (DOJ) Civil Rights Division, Office of Inspector General (OIG), Federal Trade Commission (FTC), USDA Office of Civil Rights, Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) (if applicable), Department of Justice Action Center. New York State: The Governor's Office, Division of Human Rights, Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government,. There's more. Just use AI to search.

Just didn't get that level of professionalism from the staff.My calls would be transferred to at least 3 people who all said something different.Finally spoke to someone who tried to help and gave me the number to a person who was in charge of my application for rental assistance.A few days went by and no return call,so I called to speak with her.She wanted to know who told me to call her?Asked me when I filled out my app and that when I applied the program had changed.My landlord and I signed paperwork that said different.Totally unexceptable I wish I had been referred to some place other than there

The staff was very unprofessional and rude. When i walked in, there were about 5 people behind the reception window and no one was able to assist me. The reception did not greet me.The person I had an appointment with was not in the building and they were not able to locate her. I felt very uncomfortable while visiting the location. It did not have a welcoming feeling at all. I would not go back and would not recommend anyone. The Board and CEO need to go visit this location to see how the office is run day to day. Im very disappointed!
