    If you *need* a free hot meal or *need* a place to stay, fine. But this place shuffles people in and out of treatment like cattle, rarely ever actually helping anyone. They’re cashing out big time under the guise of “treatment” while the ex addicts that are now employed there abuse their authority. Some of the staff are particularly Deesgraceful. Listening outside of clients bedrooms. Telling them they can leave if they don’t like the treatment…people who are just barely holding into their sobriety. I mean…how dare they ask for basic respect and proper living conditions. Am I right?? Leaking roof? Just throw a tarp up in the ceiling until it caves in. No problem. With the hundreds of thousands this place rakes in for the “cost” of running a treatment facility, if you dare to call it that, I expect so much better. Just as far as basic hygiene. I needed help. I needed a place to live and what I got, what everyone gets, is you either find a place yourself, do all the work yourself, or they’ll find you a homeless shelter. Which they also conveniently run!!!! And it’s much! much! much! nice and cleaner with kinder and more dedicated staff!!!! The fraud!!! I forgot to mention the fraud! The women’s halfway house continued to use my roommates food stamps for almost a year after she left. Food stamps that *must* be transferred into the financial directors name when you arrive. I’m sure that type of financial abuse and outright theft would be stopped, if only the Passaic County Welfare Office weren’t just as morally bankrupt. Who ever run’s the Eva’s social media account, please tell me you did not reply with “what could we have done better?” Better? Better living conditions. Better treatment. Actual treatment and counseling!! Did you not see the ceiling caved in from failure to do basic building up keep while drug court pays $1,000 a night for each client to be in your halfway program???

    Eva's village saved my life. I am a productive, healthy, and happy member of society today because of the things and tools I learned at Eva's Village. They also help the community and reach beyond it as well... Eva's will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart! ❤️

    I'm a resident here for 4 months in impeccable standing. Have done everything asked of me and more. I turned my life around. My Nana just died, a woman who helped raise me, and the director will not even let me miss a group to go be with my family. A family who for once actually wants me there and I will be another no show like I always was. I can not get enough time to go to the memorial. If you are thinking of coming here, just know it's just more of the same. They don't care about you your just a number. A percentage.

    DO NOT GO HERE FOR A HALFWAY HOUSE! Absolutely such a horrible place. They do not care about you your recovery or your children. They only care about your money. Do not donate a single penny or item to this place either because none of it goes to the halfway houses. It’s extremely upsetting that a place that’s supposed to provide guidance support and a safe environment doesn’t do any of those things. For us addicts/alcoholics we are in such an extremely vulnerable place in our lives we think going to a place that’ll protect us and help will actually do those things. Unfortunately they do not. They just want your food stamps claiming that they purchase food when it’s all donated and expired. The way they speak to you and treat you is disturbing. They allow bullying to go on they have favoritism which they should treat everyone there the same and they have ZERO respect for you but then they demand respect. Place is a joke and the CEO should take a very hard look at how the halfway houses are truly ran. Talk to the clients about what legitimately goes on there because staff lies makes ALOT of things up and doesn’t do anything they say they do. It’s very sad for the companies who donate because they’re getting robbed. Those companies or places think that what they donate are truly going to help the clients but they’re not. Staff lies on government documents just so they can take your assistance money. They do not do anything that they say they’ll do. Do not go here. Look into other halfway houses or mommy and me programs. Great expectations and Epiphany house are AMAZING places to go to for a mommy me program. They truly help they truly care they truly help you find housing they let you work they don’t steal your money favoritism doesn’t happen they help you with formula diapers wipes and other necessities. Try those places instead. Do your research if you’re looking for a halfway house or a mommy and me.

    Eva's Village was an amazing place to volunteer. They provide free services for the homeless and less fortunate which include, free breakfast and lunch, medical services and dental work for the select few. The staff are very endearing to those they help and many of those who received help in the past, go on to volunteer at the village to help others. They have housing for males, females and single mothers. There's also housing opportunities for attics with children.

    Eva's is such an amazing place. Not only do they serve lunch but they also serve breakfast to those who cannot afford it. The staff is so kind and never make you feel bad. They go above and beyond to help the people of Paterson. Amazing place and amazing people! Couldn't ask for more

    Eva's was instrumental in helping me to find a better way to live. They have great programs in place to help alleviate homelessness, all the way to drug addiction care. Feeding the homeless and/or low income individuals as well as families is just of the many charitable programs offered by Eva's. If you are in need of shelter, food, or drug/alcohol treatment I suggest giving them a call. If they cannot help, they will at the very least give you information on who possibly can.

    Prospective employees beware, disorganization and little/no communication run this place. Eva's Village (EV) couldn't respond to an email confirming a preliminary interview after providing 3 separate dates/times. Two weeks of radio silence pass. I ran into their table at a job fair and showed them my email still awaiting their response. Que classic "deer-in-the-headlights" expression from the recruiters and excuses about moving offices. Nonetheless, I received an email requesting a phone interview for August 30th at 1:45PM. On Agust 30th at 1:50PM, I received an email scheduling me for the following day at 1:45PM. Despite multiple emails confirming our original appointment and an entire week to reschedule, Eva's Village dropped the ball. I can only imagine what absurdities their clients face.

    The folks who work there, the folks coming in to the Soup kitchen, and the folks with whom I volunteered were all lovely. Eva's Village does a ton of good for the most vulnerable among us!

    When I called they said they only take parents that have active DCPP cases. What about the rest of the people that do not have child protective services cases that are trying to get on our feet? All about the $

    Being a volunteer is quite rewarding. This is a part of the retirement expectations. Volunteering in the community kitchen 1 day a week is one of my favorite things to do. There are trillions of people who need a helping hand and someone to be there for them too. So grateful I can and I am.

    Eva's Village is a very good place. And a nice place for NA meetings And communicating with other any members. And always has a large crowd. Because the meetings are good. They spread the word. And share the hope.
