I did not write this section, Ken wanted to write it. I’ve never met these people and his personal opinions are based on his in person contact with these individuals, and not necessarily my opinion.–S.V.
Hi world, it’s Ken, soon to be made homeless by a homeless organization without ever really receiving justice, which is among my complaints. I don’t mind paying for what I’m promised, but from day one Streetlight failed to deliver on the promise they made that I would have a clean, healthy, safe place to live, IT NEVER HAPPENED!! Choking on second hand smoke everyday, living with someone so inconsiderate he will service his colostomy at the kitchen sink, with MY SPONGE! And someone who speaks the most vile racist hatred from his mouth it makes you sick, you actually have to tell him to shut up. Back when I moved in he started speaking to me directing his human color bias at the kids around here. I told him in a really unpleasant way on how he needed to shut up, and yet he stays, and I become homeless. Folks, once I’m homeless you will see me out there with a sign on street corners, not asking for money but sending people to see the truth, you will find flyers on every billboard I can put one, and under every windshield in Prince William County. After all, at the homeless point I will have lost most everything I own, I have no way to move my stuff and no place to put it, and for what, only to rent another room to get screwed by yet another dishonest landlord? NO! I’m done with rooms, I’d rather sleep in my jeep every night until I die, not trying to sound dark, but if you haven’t been through any of what I have than you can in NO WAY CLAIM THAT YOU UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU DO NOT!! That is like a person telling a parent who has lost a child that they know how that parent feels, and that person don’t even have kids. None of you know what I’ve been through. I’m not an alcoholic or drug addict and have never been and I really try not to hold anything against anyone unless they directly attack me in some way that they have no right to do, such as now, so when I fight back I never quit. But it is SOOOO hard to live with these type of people when you are not one, again, I’m not saying that to be mean, they are just way different than the working people I’m accustomed to being around. And Streetlight talks about their Hope Center, lets give people a room with a kitchen in it, and wrap around services, more government money they can take 80% of as they are “non-profit”. The Hope Center is just a stock photo, in my opinion, you never even see a basic sketch of a floor plan, just talk. People say to me, “but aren’t they a ministry?”, well guess what folks, JIM BAKER HAD A MINISTRY ALSO!! We all remember how that went. So here what I’m going to do is provide some contact info for Streetlight and a few employees, and who those employees basically are, to me or in general. This information is accurate when I gave this to S.V., but I can’t promise how long it will stay that way, but feel free to express your opinion to these folks.
THE MAIN OFFICE
Streetlight Community Outreach Program located at Cokesbury United Methodist Church 1813 Reddy Drive Woodbridge, VA 22191 -OR- 14806 Blackburn Rd Woodbridge, VA 22191 703-491-2288 contact@thestreetlight.org
Rose Powers - 703-501-2004 - rpowers@thestreetlight.org She is the Executive Director, it seems she mostly signs papers and does little else, I complained straight to her about the smoking, nothing was ever done, except for her subordinate kicking me out because I have a problem with inconsiderate racists who ate causing danger to my health. So, i guess she supports racists and racism because she must know about this stuff and Kent Brady gets to continue doing what he wants and I get to sleep in my jeep. Wow, I just now realized the one and only time I been made homeless, also by a rotten landlord, it was just getting cold out and I almost died from carbon monoxide poisoning, yay.
Gabrielle Tibbs - 202-409-7496 - gtibss@thestreetlight.org What can I say other than she is "Miss my way or the highway", no joke. Once she told me and Doug how grateful we should be to have such affordable housing, seriously, it was lorded over us, I was very insulted. I didn't ask to get in a car accident on way home from work, I didn't ask for a brain injury, I didn't make it impossible for me to find affordable housing of my own, I'm not a politician voting yet another raise for themself while I barely get over $800 a month from Social Security Disability. She is so dead set on being in control that she was willing to allow Kent Brady to do as he pleases, no matter who it caused harm to, because I would NOT submit to her will and become a Streetlight pet. I find it very curious how she was OK with allowing the racism go, I provided her the proof long ago, her husband is a different color human than her. I honestly feel out of sorts using any color description with the word race, it don't feel right to me, I think of humans a lot like Corvettes, we just come out of the factory with different options and different colors, just depends on the parts delivered to the factory. My life is more complicated than I really need it to be and see no point in overthinking some things, I honestly don't really think of humans in terms of color until some individual tries to make me. To me everyone is just a human person, that's why living with this guy is so hard, you actually have to tell him to shut his foul mouth.
Jenny Tran - 703-462-3175 - jtran@thestreetlight.org I've never met her in person, according to Doug she's somewhat new there, I find it curious how much Doug seems to know about things the past few months. Her email is now the one associated with the Comcast account here, I wonder if she scored some gift cards also? She is also the one that called me the day the building was going to collapse, "offering" a stay at the Dumfries Motel 6, gross, no thanks, you stay there. I'd rather die of exposure in my Jeep than stay at that dump, seriously on that folks.
Roger "whoever" - 703-509-4857 I have no last name for this person, I have no email for this person, and since I've known him this the third phone number he's had. I met him when I asked Gabrielle Tibbs to allow me to speak the person who is actually in charge of thing, I got this guy, he's not in charge of anything, but he is really good at "just dropping by" on check on things, but when you're in the Streetlight program you are treated like a pet, have to make sure the dogs are OK. What I think is that he's somebody's "soft brained" relative who needed a job and he works there as favor to someone, my opinion clearly.
Gary Tibbs - 703-919-8447 Husband of Gabrielle Tibbs. I have this number from when he called me in August 2018 to come by and pick up rent, Gabrielle was out of country in Germany. So I don't know if this number is still good. Gary came by to try and intimidate me into leaving the day the building was going to collapse, it was so annoying, he was annoying, I hate bullies. I'm not sure if he is even an actual employee or someone who runs around thinking he can bully people on behalf of Streetlight, the "Enforcer", haha, and I'm sure he's not happy I exposed his wife's gift card scam just days after she did it, she probably hadn't even received the cards when I discovered it. You don't know me Gary Tibbs, not by any sense of the word, I WILL NEVER QUIT!! Streetlight wronged me!!

So folks, in conclusion look at the initials of the Baker Ministry wannabes, S.C.O.M., the best word substitute for “Outreach” is “Advocacy”, that would make the initials S.C.A.M., not food for thought, just a simple sip as you write them a check.
