★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The fact that they are doing primarily phone call applications and my elderly father cannot understand the person because their accent is SO thick, is insane to me.
I have no issues with other cultures but it seems pretty important that people calling for help are able to understand the person on the other end of the phone for these sorts of important things.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Their approval process is a joke. I'm an employed, tax paying father of 2 who is extremely sick and on disability but can not receive even a little bit of help while others take advantage of this benefit year round.
Instead of only focusing on helping the homeless perhaps you should put some consideration into trying to prevent it as well.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Some of the workers here are so rude and condescending that it is actually comical. They cut you off mid sentence because they assume they can read your mind and don't listen to the entire issue before saying they will reconnect or barking orders. I have been given the run around and have had to call numerous times about the same issues because the people answering the phones are incapable of listening. It is understandable that they probably deal with some pretty rude clients as well but there is no need for them to be as arrogant and have such a know it all attitude. Lots of places deal with the public, no other profession would get away using the tone and manners that some of these workers have. Seeking help is hard enough without being talked down to as though you are below the people who are just there to answer phones.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Worst thing ever. Talked down to by worker and her Superviosr, and was told by the worker that I wasn’t trying hard enough for looking for work when in that month alone I had put in 85 applications. Was also told that I was never going to be good enough by the same worker and when asked for a new caseworker I was told that it’s not aloud. And when I called them out on that and it was possible they hung up on me. Finally took it to the MLA and got somewhere but not far.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Disturbing how these "social workers" get away with treating people like they do. I was taken off work by my doctor end of last year due to failing health. My medical EI ran out soo I applied for Income Support. I was talked down to by the worker he was aggressive rude and condescending. I told him I was forced to move back in with my parents and he twisted my words into saying "your parents give you money soo why are you applying for support?" I asked to deal with a different worker and called him out on his attitude. He announced he would close my file and promptly hung up. I called again to get a new worker and she wasn't much better. Only offered me 1 month of support and said I would need to reapply again if I wanted anymore support. Both workers sent me different documents to fill out and gave me different information on what was required for the program. Ive worked in customer service for many years and if I talked to someone at work they way these people talked to me id lose my job. Shameful Alberta "supports".

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ They hire people who treat you terribly. They want you to be kind and respectful while they are not. They talk down to you. They do NOT care about you or your family at all. They need to fire everyone and hire people who genuinely went into this field of work with the values and morals of knowing they are there to HELP and not be rude or unkind.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Man it would be nice if they started putting the proper income cards on there web site I've done the wrong card for the last 3 months now ? and if you call the worker to try and talk to them they just email back saying they have 450 clients to take care of and they can't do anything unless you give them the first and last name and a file number okay I am a human not a number I have a name . now my landlord is waiting for rent ? I don't see how this company is helping people it feels like they are just out to hurt people ?.. they don't even send out letters anymore letting you know if there is anything wrong with you check for the month I feel this company needs to get an overhaul on making sure there staff is better at being trained to deal with certain situations especially stressful ones
