Since 2010, more than 1,300 eviction notices have gone out because Pathways [to Housing] — which serves 700 mentally ill clients — stopped paying rent for months at a time. Pathways’ contract with the state was recently canceled, and the state attorney general is now investigating where all that taxpayer money went.
In fact, Pathway clients have good reason to fear getting the knock.
The state Office of Mental Health, Pathways’ main source of funding, said on Friday that Pathways admits 52 clients have actually been evicted since 2010. Legal Aid Society lawyers trying to fight the evictions say 24 of those evictions have occurred since Jan. 1, 2013.
So I guess we'll need more homeless shelters then?

Let's say for argument's sake that we're all bleeding hearts. Why does an organization of Pathways have to be given money as a middleman to pay their rent!? Why can't the state DOH, which already has the list of names for eligibility purposes, just do it directly through the comptroller's office!?

Virtually all Democratic programs are honest graft. Someone is well connected.
More shelters? I'm sure Duhblaz will love that. He can raise taxes and put his wife and Al Sharpton on the payroll to dole out cash to their buddies.
What are the waterfront tower people going to do when Jimmmy No Brainer starts to bring 'affordable housing' and hordes of undocumented immigrants into the community - being majority leader and being friends with both the mayor and speaker will force him to accept these things.
