This organization dumped a mentally ill person into my home and now won't take responsibility for removing her and returning her to the system. They not only have done NOTHING to advocate for us private citizens that they are asking for help and donations, they are also doing that unstable person and their behaviorally challenged child a great disservice. Their function was to make sure the individual was doing her part for her own sake and for the betterment of her life and that of her child and they have been unprofessional from the start. They did nothing, laid blame everywhere else and when it came time to put up or shut up they resorted to trespassing. I would never approve funding of any kind for these people ever and I intend to go to their community board and funders. The Program Director and the Case Worker should be fired. This is the office on Fulton on the border of Brooklyn/Queens.
