Amity Foundation - Los Angeles, California

Horrible. Racistly biased. I've seen instances where two individuals broke the same rule and one person receives more punishment than the other. More than once I seen this happen. I left and went to another rehab. This place is a CULT and uses the threat of kicking you out and being back on the streets (if you are homeless) to get you to tell or spy on individuals they suspect of rule breaking behavior. This place should be shut down!! I was there summer of 2009. Eff Gerard and all his minions

I hated every minute I was held hostage in this place. The staff treated everyone foul.
They always threatened to ruin your life by making up false things to tell your parole officer. They don't help you find jobs. Nothing. The whole idea is to help people transition back into society. They try to keep you because you're a number to them.

ALERT*Can we give zero stars? This place will ruin you!!!! They failed my brother!!! They kept him for 7 months knowing his health condition and failed him so bad! How can you “be a foundation” for the community and than just fail the system and my brother so bad. To kick someone down that was doing so good for them self! For everyone working here, please move on with yourself and do better. You aren’t helping anyone but yourself, Money won’t help you be a good person! YOU are the problem for the community! DO BETTER AMITY FOUNDATION!

Please don’t confuse amity with your housing site. They are not the same. Your housing site gives you sanctuary and food. Amity deals with appointment transportation and communicating with Brilliant Corners about housing. Amity has done nothing but wrong with me. Scheduled me for incorrect appointments, wasting hours and hours of my time. They lied about communication with housing, delayed my housing progress by almost half a year SO FAR. They now won’t give me housing until I take anger management. I was approved months ago by them for housing, but called them out on a lie and they now say I need it. I am not an angry person, just frustrated by the lack of skill that amity has in the field. I asked to speak to the judge and they deny. I have to go on my own to get this worked out. Maybe the judge can save me from this.

Housing site is cool, Step 2 freedom, partner of odr court. Nice people, decent food, and they keep the peace at home while I’m there. But amity is bad. They found a glitch in the system and can work as slow as they want and do bad at their jobs and still get paid.
Because if their clients were actually paying out of their pocket, Amity would be out of business.

Staff there are amazingly always there to assist the students in learning new skills and helps them develop understanding and preperation of entering the main stream of modern society, sober and live a more productive lifestyle as a citizen.

For the most part this is a good place to get on your feet and set the pieces in motion to accomplish your goals ... Some of the Demonstrators definitely need more training or to be replaced by actual professional counselors ... But the people who run this program like Mr.Whit and Steve are very helpful and encouraging towards helping you to get your life back on track and from my personal experience are extremely understanding and supportive.
