Review №1

I had an unfortunate event happen, my wallet was taken with my ID, ebt, and debit cards. The person was able to change my pin ( all they need is your birthday btw) and spend it all. I couldnt get reimbursed but I was treated well.This branch, however, tried to interrogate me, was extremely rude, and told me it couldnt happen, and no one can change your pin over and over. He was constantly interrupting me, was slurring his words, and hung up on me. I was polite the whole time. And let him know I wasnt even interested in discussing the stolen ebt anymore. He asked me what I wanted and kept asking repetitive irrelevant questions that I had to continue to answer in the same way. He was extremely unprofessional. I wish I had caught his name, because if he tries to make everyone feel that bad he shouldnt be answering phones or be in a position to affect peoples lives.Extremely disappointed with this experience.

I was able to renew my benefits, by application, in person and had them within a few hours. Despite what they were dealing with outside of my case, they remained very professional.

Staff is wonderful! Super friendly, helpful, and they explain things thoroughly. HOWEVER there is NO RESTROOM. Its insulting that this place calls itself the Department of Human Services but they want to deny the most basic of human needs, even to individuals with appointments. They made me walk around the corner to the Waterfront to wait in a long line of people to use the Portland Loo. The Loos are great but I shouldnt have to go find one when I have an appointment on the books for social services.

They are always changing the way things work. Never know what to expect and now you have to wait in line just to get an application. Stupid. I guess we should just take our punishment for needing help with food and shut up. Thats a good approach towards self sufficient confidence.

Although the interior of the office is super depressing, every time Ive had to go down to check on my EBT Ive experienced really nice and helpful service. Its a crummy job, Im guessing, so I am grateful that they are able to employ some kind folks.

I work for DHS as a care worker, supporting disabled citizens.THIS particular location (AND the SW 4th and Oak Aging and Disability location) are BOTH the MOST helpful locations! They both have employees that are EXTREMELY loving, truly caring and helpful for their clients that depend on them. Its a thankless job, where they have to work INCREDIBLY INCREDIBLY HARD, day-in-&-day-out... Taking care of people... SO SO MANY people, whom would otherwise be unable to get help or suck devoted support from any other source.Thank you, DHS!!

This place knows how to treat people. Alot of people who come here have mental health problems and dont understand how to recognise or deal with them. These folks know how to be professional when met with opposition.
