The one where a landmarks subcommittee got hijacked by a Bronx war over housing the formerly incarcerated at Jacoby Hosp

Opponent recounts Mr. Richards of Fortune Society saying not to worry because residents 'have one foot in the grave' (stage four cancer, end stage renal failure), windows overlook her mother's home.

Opponent says the description of residents shifted from terminally ill to medically complex to pretrial detainees with possible mental health and substance abuse issues.

Opponent objects that the only security will be cameras and a front desk person, asking whether council would be concerned if their mother lived 100 feet away.

Opponent notes Fortune Society's 97th Street facility excludes meth production, arson, sex offenders and violence risks, implying the remaining population is the people no one else wants.

Opponent cites numerous daycares and schools within walking distance plus the Kennedy Center (a facility for developmentally disabled individuals) about 20 yards away.

Opponent proposes the building instead be used for affordable senior housing with access to Jacobi's medical care.

Ferrara characterizes Just Home as a first-time experimental project for the Fortune Society and NYC Health and Hospitals.

Ferrara says the Just Home project is not the community's need; their priority list is veterans housing, senior housing, a community center, a birthing center, a wellness and culture center.

Ferrara claims CHS disclosed most Rikers inmates' conditions are mental health and substance abuse, not complex medical needs, with minimal security and no exclusion by reason of incarceration.

Ferrara argues Rikers tenants will roam freely in the community and asks who will be accountable when situations arise; calls the project too risky at this location.

Colangelo claims Correctional Health Service says there aren't enough sick and dying people on Rikers to fill the project, questioning who residents will be.

Colangelo alleges the project is a 'cash cow' for HHC, raises a prior tenant problem involving Mr. Compass, predicts residents won't be sick/dying, and warns of little or no security and visitors involved in criminal activity.

Colangelo warns people will roam with no/limited security and the applicant cannot guarantee the future.

Caliendo says many HH hospitals cannot safely prepare chemotherapy; Jacobi has a one-star Medicare rating and a D from Leapfrog.

Caliendo says most HH sites have one or two-star ratings and C's from Leapfrog; argues the failure is at corporate level.

Caliendo raises safety concerns for staff such as a nurse leaving at midnight or housekeeper arriving at 5am if a resident assaults them.

Caliendo cites Joyce Grayson, a home care nurse murdered by a medically complex patient, and the Oltons tortured and killed by a recently released individual, to argue risk exists.

Caliendo argues Jacobi campus is wrong for the project, contrasting with community consultation done for the Lincoln project, and proposes building two for aging population.

Finch cites a 1984 agreement in which a broker and the Morris Park Association settled lawsuits for violating housing law via racial steering and discrimination against blacks and Hispanics.

Cambria objects that the proposal was not openly or transparently discussed with the community but was leaked out.

Cambria objects that the neighborhood will host housing for people leaving jail including pretrial detainees, prioritized over seniors, veterans, and working families waiting years for affordable housing.
