The remedy for that was not to close #MainchanceDropInCenter entirely, but to end the #GCNSSN contract and to award it to another nonprofit that would respect it and treat clients right. But I guess that's not how #NYCDHS rolls.

What about the homeless shelters in Midtown? The #OlivieriDropinCenter, the #NinthAveDropinCenter, the #MainchanceDropinCenter? The Franciscan soup kitchen on 31st Street and drop-in center on 32nd? The unsheltered homeless on 33rd Street and near and far?

Meanwhile, while #NYCDHS congratulates itself, 3 homeless people were found frozen to death, one very close to the #MainchanceDropinCenter and the #BellevueShelter.

One of them was found at Third Ave. and 35th St., 10 minutes' walk from the #MainchanceDropinCenter and 15 minutes from the #BellevueShelter. Was he put out, turned away? Did he know there was #CodeBlue? Often, including today, the #NYCDHS falls #AsleepAtTheWheel and doesn't tweet announcements.
