Sorry I haven't written in so long everyone, but i have been trying to prove this once and for all, it looks like I have the proof but none seems to want to do anything anyway.
I am going to try to sum this up as briefly as I can. That will be hard. I am an advocate working with the homeless in New Rochelle New York, I am homeless myself. How I became homeless is something I can exoplain and has to do with stereotypes of people with diagnoses (mine is adhd) mine own decisions of course, and our society, but that is not the point of this story. There is a shetler in New Rochelle New York run by Wesctop a 30 billion dollar organization that has a leak in the ceiling bedbugs, missng donations, and will not refer people to the proper social services agencys. They get about 36,000 per year per person and yet 25 people a night sleep in chairs while another 39-40 sleep in bedbug infested cvots. I wrote a petition about this shelter after I was told I could not help people get out because I was interfering with true director's business. Despite DSS promising to investigate I was told to leave one night as threats to the shelter would no longer be tolerated. I refused. Was in jail for a month afor a city code violation” trespassing, they kept postposing my trial when I wouldn’t plead guilty. I came out of jail and continued my efforts.
Then the shelter and a soup kitchen named Hope Coummnity Services which gets a large hud grant to hosue people but has only housed 4, they say 25, there tax return says 19, there CoC (continuum of care report) says 12, there other rtax return says 107 applied to run a day program with the shelter despite the fact that there was already a experienced good day program for the homeless in the city with 18 years experience (Dimesnions) that was struggling with it’s rent. Westcop has connections. The mayor is on their local board, previously on their county board. They run half the New Rochelle Housing authority (see my blog for that) County Executive Astorino saved it from closing and got the support of Westcop related officials in his campaign against the mayor for executive in the process, State Sebnator George Latimer is on their Mamaronek board. So are judges, small town mayors etc. Westcop also gets a few million from the federal government. Nita Lowey and Eliot Engel got it for them. They are supposed to house verterans. I know none they have housed. I have taken people to them to get help. We were told they don’t handle those kinds of cases.
The shelter and Hope got the grant. The council originally voted for a n open proposal, since there are agaencys like Dimensions that has been there for ten years and had far more experience, but a week later they reversed their decision.. The program started September 2nd.There is nothing to do the whole day. People are not allowed to leave (except for medical reasons) or they cannot come back unitll 9 at night. It is like prison. Some people report being followed. There is also a van program. If people see a homeless person they can call the shelter. Even if the homeless person is reading, eacting, walking in town etc. The shelter than will send a white van to get them. It all sounds insane. And it is. And I have proof of it. This is all the documents, footage I have with links to my blog and local newspaper articles.
