I am writing to formally express my deep concerns and dissatisfaction with the services provided by Central  City Concern (CCC) through their community engagement program. My experience has been profoundly disappointing  and has significantly impacted my well-being. Background: I was placed in housing by CCC with no income and no preparation, despite having been homeless for  nearly a decade and struggling with addiction and mental health issues. This lack of preparation has created an  unsustainable living situation, leading to ongoing utility debt of approximately $900. Issues Experienced: Lack of Support and Understanding: I reached out to the supervisor to express my severe depression and  challenges, including the need to sell my valuables and cope with utility debt. Instead of receiving support,  I was met with an ultimatum to sign a behavior contract. My pleas for help were ignored, and the response from  CCC was dismissive and punitive rather than compassionate.

So proud of our teams and the connected care delivered in service to our community!

Central City Concern (CCC) was entrusted to provide me with stable housing and essential support services. Instead, their negligence and mismanagement have exacerbated my financial instability and emotional distress. **Core Issues:** 1. **Financial Mismanagement:**  - CCC placed me in housing that was supposed to be sustainable but instead plunged me into a deep financial deficit.  - Despite my repeated appeals for financial assistance and stability, CCC failed to address my urgent needs, pushing me further into crisis.
