Participant Quotes

Our participants share how they feel about the project and its implementation through an annual anonymous feedback survey.

Here's what they've shared.

  • “When I was in need, their services were detrimental in keeping me afloat. Without this service, I would have drowned in debt, been homeless, and struggling far more now than I have been.”

  • “I can only speak from my experience. I was heading down a very dark and difficult road and DBIP has been there helping me and encouraging me to share my story and that has helped me with respecting myself and there for respecting others.”

  • “Any support I've needed has been ultimately rendered with empathy and without judgment or bias.”

  • “They are always on top of anything I have ever needed. They really treat you like family.”

  • “When I have reached out, they have always given me calls to check up on me, giving me further resources and are always friendly.”

  • “It's the best program that I have ever been involved with where they actually help you get on your feet.”

  • "My son and I were homeless for a year struggling to make ends meet on my SSI and SSDI. I only get $900 a month and it's very hard to live on that with 2 people. With the extra help from the program we were able to finally get an apartment. I feel so blessed to be a part of the program.”

  • "They have helped me with all my needs. I wish it would be able to help a little longer."

  • "I always hear back from anyone I called or emailed within 48 hours, usually it was within the same day or 24 hours. Excellent customer service."
