On several occasions between October 2022 till present Maureen Thornhill, Program Manager of 19 Winthrop Brooklyn NY 11225 makes a stereotype to me because I have substance abuse issues. She makes me feel like Im just a addict. The place I live is nasty and she knows it. All she cares about is rent and signing the papers for your employee visits. I dont want her calling me she isnt a good person and should not make me feel like I should be dead

Hi I need help out of this building with my next door neighbor . He’s a mentally sick person . He’s walking around naked antagonizing my door .

We applied for section 8 back in July 2023. It’s October still not response. We have a court date November 1st and would like someone from CAMBA to reach out or answer their phone. It is three months with no response or action. No one at CAMBA answered the phone when I call. It’s frustrating and disappointing. They only do this in marginalized communities. CAMBA is using public funds for their own personal use and that needed to be investigated. I need someone to reach out to me immediately.

I’ve been trying to get on to one of the housing ambassadors at camba 2244 church ave ever since I put my name on the list back in February no one answers but when I walked up in there the receptionist is sitting right by the desk and I’m calling and she’s not answering we are in August now 6 months I’m in a situation with 2 children living in a room an HPD SECTION 8 VOUCHER nobody wants I’m just trying to get help as I am writing this someone just answered and hang up the

I am a disabled person with HHA/42 hours per week, and a single mom trying to keep our apartment. We live in Brooklyn NY 11235, in an apartment building, Despite the fact, I had an active ERAP at that time, make my partial payments every 2 weeks and my rental arrears were not high (as of today $1500), my landlord trying to evict me since 12/2022. My landlord was aware I am disabled, however, I've been serving the court papers the next day after my knee reconstruction surgery.

I've been on worker's comp due to a work-related accident. I've been trying to reach Camba since 10/2022. Then, on 02/27/2023 they finally put my name on their waitlist. My first initial phone interview took place on 3/28/23. Since then, I've talked to numerous people (saved all info, such as names, dates, calls & emails). Up today I am not sure if they even finally completed my intake.

I am contacting you because I’m having issues with the Fulton street location. I first called Camba in December and waited 8 weeks for a phone call, then I went into the office on February 14 to apply for now with my rent. Two weeks ago I called in inquiring about the case status and the enrollment specialist claims my ID was missing out of the packet but when she did the enrollment she made a copy of my ID. She wouldn’t have said anything if I didn’t call. I called them today again to check the status of the case because I received a notice from NYCHA stating they want to know about the rent payment in seven days. They told me it could take weeks for me to be assigned to a case manager and I’m not emergency because I’m not in housing court. So I asked the supervisor in order for the process to be speeded up I have to be in housing court and she said yes. That doesn’t make sense to me. They supposed to try to avoid clients going to housing court.

I initially called in January I was told I had to wait 3-4 weeks someone would contact me nobody never did so I called again for like a week straight was giving my caseworker name and number but ms Williams refused to call me back in June maybe July I was called in to sign up for an emergency housing voucher she doesn’t want to sign me up for city fheps my landlord gave me an 90 day eviction I gave it to Janine Williams and her supervisor tianna Moncion still haven’t heard from either one of them.

I've been calling camba and leaving messages for over a year and a half. When I walk in they say I need and appointment. I call and the process starts all over again. Whosoever manages that site is appearing to be unfit for the role. I've left messages, called other cambas and even got a friend who knows someone who works there to ask them to at least return their calls...all to no avail. They need to be audited to ensure that they are providing the best service possible to they're clients.

Went to the office and the lady at the desk told the people who were waiting for help to take a card and call the number in the card due to the workers are not seeing anyone, again. This behavior been going on for months. Then when you call they don’t answer the phone it goes to voicemail and no one calls back. The lady at the desk also said, “don’t leave a voicemail we not going to answer it.” People are really having real issues with their living situation and they are not helping.

I call for emergency transfer because my daughter will be in wheelchair so would need more space I live one bedroom with myself and other children age 10 I’ve been waiting for my shopping letter for around month the supervisor decide go vacation so I have wait for her to sign off my paper I am have so many problem my building and I need to move asap I’ve been calling Camba and also call down my case worker Tasha Learly at 2244 church Ave she hasn’t been telling me nothing or even keep update

I was granted a CITYFHEPS voucher and found a room in BROOKLYN, NY 11225. After residing in this room for a few months the Landlord began harassing me to a point that I wanted to leave as much as she did. After, doing the research I was informed that I had to seek help from The Camba, Homebase Bklyn location in 1958 Fulkton because of the zip code. After some time of making contact I was helped in this matter to begin the process 7/21/21. I was finally approved for the CityFHEPS transfer 11/23/21. Being that the lease expired 1/5/2022. I knew I had to move fast. I finally found a place that would accept the voucher. I made contact with CAMBA HB Bklyn for the next steps and documents. Camba, HB returned back with the needed documents on 12/7/21. I was then informed by CAMBA that my case was closed and had to re-open and fill out all the documents all over again. This of course took time. CAMBA reached out the the Landlord with the process and documents needed on 12/14/2021. After that I have been texting, calling and emailing all parties involved all the way up until 1/13/2022 asking for any updates on what was the status and have received no response from anyone in copy on the emails. And as of now can't reach anyone by phone because all mailboxes are full and can't accept any messages. I am up in the air at this point not knowing what happened because no one can be reached. All I need is to know is the voucher valid and what happened but no one is available for the update, and several people have been included in the process.

I lost my apt a year ago and came to them when it was happening and they basically told me I came too late and I made too much money, now I've been staying in my mother's apt in the projects in a 2 bedroom with my four kids and brother and now I have to leave within the week and I come to camba and they give me an apt in January! I have to move now, and they just have me an appt for January when someone could of spoke to me, they are never busy, there were about 6 people at the desks and an empty office, camba does not help homeless prevention, it contributes to it
