EDITOR’S NOTE

NEW YORK CITY has had its hands full trying to accommodate thousands of asylumseekers who have been arriving in recent weeks. The mad scramble to temporarily house up to 1,000 migrants at a time in tents in Orchard Beach has not been received well by advocates, especially after City & State was the first to report that the site chosen was in a flood zone. City Hall is clearly working overtime to figure out the best way to enforce the state’s landmark “right-to-shelter” law for these individuals and families, and as a result, has been reassessing the entire shelter system.

Still, the Adams administration has welcomed the asylum-seekers. There may be an opportunity to explore how the city can fill some of its job vacancies with these migrants and place them on a path to citizenship. The City reported that the city’s job vacancy rate stands at nearly 8%, climbing up to almost 25% at certain agencies. Of course there are hurdles that need to be overcome from their illegal entry into the United States, and many may not qualify for some of the agency positions that are available. “I think it would depend upon the role and whether or not there is a pathway to hire them legally,” Catherine Trapani, executive director of Homeless Services United, told City & State. “Assuming some number of folks will be able to obtain work authorization, they should be considered for any oppor tunity that is available where they have relevant skills and experience to lend.”

“New York City was built by immigrants,” she added, “and just as they were critical to making our city in the past, they will be critical to keeping its vibrancy in the future.”

That’s certainly one way of achieving the American dream.

At the end of last week, tents started to go up on a vast expanse of asphalt at Orchard Beach.

LATEST POLL HAS HOCHUL WAY UP

Allegations that the gov ernor was involved in a pay-to-pay deal involving the state’s purchase of overpriced COVID-19 tests from a deep-pock eted campaign donor seem to have done

little to marr how she’s resonating with voters, though congressional Republicans have vowed to investigate the deal if they retake the House. Still, with a 17-point lead, Gov. Kathy Hochul has only expanded her sweeping edge over Rep.

A wave of violent attacks against Asian Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic has caused some people in New York City to arm themselves with pepper spray and push for more policing, while others attempt to navigate self-protection without partnering with police. This month’s issue of New York magazine looked into this conflict, along with other aspects of what it means to be “at home in Asian America.”

While Hochul recently agreed to one debate that would be hosted by NY1 toward the end of October, Zel din blasted her decision to only participate in one debate and has yet to accept the invitation. The candidates’ positions on crime also took center stage as they rolled out dueling endorsements from law enforcement organizations with the Police Conference of New York backing Zeldin and the Police Benevo lent Association of New York State getting behind Hochul.

NYC REVERSES COURSE ON SCHOOL ADMISSIONS

After adopting a random lottery system in an effort to combat school segrega tion under then-New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio in 2020, New York City schools will again have significantly more power to consider academic performance and test scores in their admissions processes. This marks a major policy shift under New York City Mayor Eric Adams and schools Chancellor David Banks to reward students who perform well. The move has been celebrated by Asian American education advocates in particular, as Asian American students make up a significant portion of the population

SOLITARY CONFINEMENT, RIKERS

SCRUTINIZED

Reports surfaced that New York City Department of Correction Commissioner Louis Molina appeared to have pushed for the compassionate release of Elmore Robert Pondexter, who was seriously ill while incarcerated at Rikers Island, in order to keep the number of deaths reported in city jails from exceeding last year’s toll. There have been 16 deaths at the jail complex so far this year. A

few days later, Gothamist published a harrowing re port that further illustrated the deplorable conditions that have plagued the jail as the threat of a feder al government takeover looms. Never-before-seen photographs included in the report showed a man having defecated in his clothes due to a lack of toilets available to him, another man locked in a cage shower and several incarcerated people drag ging sick people to medical care. Hours before the New York City Council held a hearing on a long-await ed bill that would reform solitary confinement in city jails, dueling rallies for people against solitary confinement and correc tion officers in support of it came to a head outside City Hall.

So far, 16 people have died on Rikers Island this year, sparking rallies about ending the use of solitary confinement and the poor conditions that have plagued the jails complex.

THE WEEK AHEAD

MONDAY 10/3

The Assembly Transportation Committee is holding a public hearing at 10 a.m. in the Legislative Office Building to discuss complete streets.

Republican candidates in two of New York’s battleground congressional districts who favor placing more restric tions on access to abortion have updated their campaign websites in recent weeks to re flect some exceptions to their relatively hardline stances.

Nick LaLota and Brandon Williams, GOP candidates running New York’s 1st and 22nd congressional districts, respectively, have both made changes to the sections of their campaign websites that ad dress their views on abortion. Where they didn’t previous ly mention any exceptions to their anti-abortion stances, both websites now mention that the candidates wouldn’t oppose abortion in instanc es of rape, incest or when the health of the mother is at risk. The changes appear to have been made after last month’s primary election.

Williams, an entreprenu er running against defense policy adviser and Democrat Francis Conole in Central New York, had already ex pressed during the Republi can primary that he was not wholly opposed to abortion in these instances. But that nuance wasn’t previously re flected on his website. Up to at least Aug. 30, Williams’ page on abortion read, “I am

pro-life by faith; abortion ends all of the future possibil ities of the life it extinguish es. No one is more vulnerable than the unborn and we must protect them.” Whereas that section of the website was previously titled “Pro-life,” it’s now titled just “Life.”

LaLota, the former commis sioner of the Suffolk County Board of Elections, is running against Democratic Suffolk County Legislator Bridget Fleming on Long Island. Up until at least Aug. 31, a page on LaLota’s website titled “Protecting Life” focused on support for the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent reversal of Roe v. Wade and called for New York to ban third tri mester abortions and institute stricter parental notification requirements for minors.

This section of LaLota’s website has since been ex panded. “I do not oppose abortion in cases of rape, in cest, or to save the mother’s life,” the page now reads.

But the updated page also goes into more detail about aspects of LaLota’s posi tion on abortion that don’t appear to have softened at all. It now mentions that he doesn’t oppose just third tri mester abortions, but sec ond trimester abortions too.

Nonprofit FundCon

Strategies for creating trust and relationships with key donors

By City & State

The fifth annual Nonprofit FundCon event, hosted by New York Nonprofit Media, helped executives improve their fundraising strategies and increase their fundrais ing opportunities. Held on Sept. 22 at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in lower Man hattan, the all-day event fea tured panels on fundraising, accounting, event planning and new technologies. As more events and requests for donations have moved online during the COVID-19 pan demic, there was also a focus on online messaging and storytelling that would ap peal to multiple generations.

The Brooklyn Democratic Party’s meeting last month didn’t exactly go as planned and had to be postponed. Do you have any comment on this, or why this keeps happening? In this particular case, the Wi-Fi erratically performing was beyond our control. So this caused a couple of hours of delay in check-in because our computers were programmed to run and update registration (in) real time. This was the first in-person organizational meeting held under my leadership and it’s a learning experience. Yes, there were a couple of

snafus, but we’re going to come back around Oct. 3 strong. So sometimes meetings like this can be complex, especially, you know, when you have a number of people who are completely always trying to be dilatory or disorderly, you know, I mean, that’s typically their goal.

You passed a law in 2020 requiring hospitals to admit anybody in preterm labor, even if they’re uninsured. You recently introduced Mickie’s Law. Can you explain the name behind the bill, and the motivation, the story behind it?

Mickie’s Law would ensure that mothers who encounter fetal death get the treatment that they need to remove the dead fetus, especially in the event of an emergency. In this particular case, with Mickie, there was a couple who was in the second trimester and lost their child. And when it was time to remove it, they went to the hospital. The hospital would not allow it to happen, because it was a Christian hospital, and they considered removal of a dead fetus was abortion.

Why is it that it takes them so long to deal with these kinds of situations

that you think they would attend to immediately?

Well, in many cases, it’s all about the money. They don’t want to have to deal with increasing malpractice insurance. And they don’t want to enter into a situation where they might be liable for a death. And then there’s a level of racism with what I went through, which is why I passed the Jonah Bichotte Cowan Law, after my son. They treat Black women definitely worse than white women. I was a victim of that, having to come out of a hospital – a top end hospital, Columbia – that

pushed me out and said, we can’t service you because of insurance. And we can help you get rid of the baby, but we can’t service you to help save you and to help save your baby. I left, and I went to a local hospital in Brooklyn; it was a safety net hospital, and they took care of me. They were just beautiful people. Although I lost my son, or delivered my son there, it was still an experience that was comforting that eased my pain. And so I wrote the law to make sure that other women don’t go through this ever, ever, ever again.

Cozying up to the commish

By Sara Dorn

DURING HER SHORT TIME on the job, New York City Po lice Department Commission er Keechant Sewell has forged a positive relationship with rankand-file officers at a time when morale among cops is at what union officials call an “all-time low.” Earli er this month, she became the first NYPD commissioner to receive the New York City Police Benevolent Association’s Person of the Year award – a move intended to forge an alliance with the new commissioner, who serves as a liaison between the police department and City Hall.

Sewell, the former Nassau County Po lice Department chief of detectives an nounced by New York City Mayor Eric Adams in December, is leading the roughly 36,000-member force through a period of hardship, union officials and police experts said. Rising crime during the pandemic, coupled with low recruitment numbers, anti-police rhetoric, and new officer ac

countability and bail reform laws have left New York City cops feeling undervalued. Sewell has been tasked with rebuilding morale in the department and advocating for its members, while also adhering to the politics of the Adams administration.

So far, PBA officials said they have been impressed with her ability to avoid any major conflicts and handle tough moments with professionalism and resolve.

“With all the challenges facing New York City police officers, it has never been more important for our union to have a positive, productive relationship with the police commissioner. We are fortunate to have that relationship with Commission er Sewell,” PBA President Pat Lynch said in a statement. “Commissioner Sewell ac knowledges these challenges, instead of trying to downplay them or explain them away. That alone is refreshing. But she goes further than that – she speaks up and ex plains to the public what police officers are going through.”

New York City’s police unions want to have Keechant Sewell on their side when the next crisis hits.

The award could also be seen as a way to curry favor with the commissioner amid contract negotiations with City Hall. The PBA, which represents 24,000 officers, is currently operating under a contract that expired in 2017 while awaiting a decision from an independent arbitrator and panel on the terms of its next contract. “Our goal, as always, is to obtain substantial wage in creases that close the gap between New York City police officers and our local coun terparts. We’re currently paid upwards of 30% less than other local departments, in cluding agencies like State Troopers, (Met ropolitan Transportation Authority police) and (Port Authority police) that operate within NYC,” said PBA spokesperson John Nuthall, adding that the bulk of the nego tiations occurred under former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

The city’s contract with the Detectives’ Endowment Association, the union for the NYPD’s approximately 5,500 active duty detectives, expired in June. The union is

seeking raises for its members, in addition to an increase in manpower and promo tions, according to President Paul DiGia como. The city’s plans to shift retirees to a privatized Medicare Advantage plan threat ens to stall contract negotiations for the city’s public employee unions, however.

DiGiacomo also had a positive review of Sewell’s performance thus far, but said, “We have a long road ahead of us.”

He added: “So far we have a dialogue. She’s receptive to the DEA and our con cerns and needs,” noting Sewell has rec ognized a number of detectives’ death anniversaries, visited wounded officers in the hospital and attended street re namings for detectives. “She’s going on a regular basis to visit commands and she’s going up into the detective squads. She’s taken over this job at a very diffi cult time,” he said.

In some ways, the award lacks teeth and is commonplace in cop culture, according to Hank Sheinkopf, a veteran political con sultant and Detectives’ Endowment Asso ciation spokesperson. “You have all kinds of fraternal organizations who love to give out awards,” he said, but noted that award ing Sewell “is a smart thing for the PBA to do … it’s an extension of an olive branch at a time when they’re going through a period of real turmoil.”

Eugene O’Donnell, a retired NYPD of ficer and professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, said the commission er’s powers have been weakened by the Adams administration, which appoint ed retired NYPD Officer Philip Banks to the newly created deputy mayor of public safety position.

“The commissioner’s job, especially in this administration with a deputy mayor

of public safety – many commissioners wouldn’t even take the job under those cir cumstances – there’s probable cause to be lieve her strength is diluted. You have three commissioners: two in City Hall and one in Police Plaza,” O’Donnell said, referring to Adams, Banks and Sewell.

Officer misconduct complaints have risen in recent years. The New York City Council has implemented a number of of ficer accountability laws in recent years, including one that ended qualified immu nity for some violations, which protected officers from being sued for misconduct. Sewell has sway in deciding whether to ter minate cops accused of misconduct, along with issuing promotions and transfers. “At some point, there is going to be an incident, and (the union is) hoping that she can go to the podium and defend them in a way the last several commissioners did not,” O’Donnell said.

Lynch said former department heads have tried to “appease” criminal justice reformists and “treated engagement with the union as just another box to check,” he said. “We would sit down to talk, but they weren’t really listening. As a result, we have a police department in a near-con stant state of crisis.” The PBA issued votes of no confidence against former Commis sioners Raymond Kelly in 2004 and James O’Neill in 2019, after the latter fired for mer Officer Daniel Pantaleo for putting Eric Garner in a deadly chokehold.

Sewell, while accepting the award at the union’s annual ceremony, spoke about the hardships of NYPD officers’ jobs, ac knowledging officers are “judged through a microscope, under a magnifying glass, using binoculars,” she said. “Many can criticize, few can understand.”

NYPD Commis sioner Keechant Sewell was the PBA’s Person of the Year.

SANCTUARY CITY?

Advocates worry that New York City won’t follow the law and give adequate shelter to incoming migrants.

OVERWHELMED & BREAKING

OVERWHELMED

LATE IN THE morning on Sept. 23, roughly 50 new arrivals to New York City – men, women and chil dren, including several toddlers and babies – wait ed on chairs inside a gated-off section of the main entrance to the Port Authority Bus Terminal. They were surrounded by bags of clothing and food, and several seemed busy feeding children.

No sooner had a reporter begun talking to one family close to the gated perimeter – who said they’d just finished a multipart journey from Venezuela – than a New York City worker rushed over and barked that press were relegated to the bus drop-off area around the corner on 41st Street. That area was empty, except for more security gates and a sign reading “No Press Beyond this Point.”

A few minutes later, several blocks away on West 49th Street close to the Hudson River, a 33-year-old Venezuelan man was sitting on the steps, glued to his phone, outside a massive American Red Cross center, which has been hous ing intake services for the more than 13,000 people who have come to New York City since the spring, many of them seeking asylum here from Venezuela or other Latin Amer ican countries. Some of the asylum-seekers were coaxed or tricked into getting on buses to New York City by Texas and Florida Govs. Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis – their way of sticking it in the face of northern blue states – but many had come of their own accord, fleeing repressive regimes, pov erty, violence and looking to start new lives – whether they already had family and friends here or not.

The influx, which continues at the rate of hundreds of people per week according to the mayor’s office, has pushed New York City’s crowded homeless shelter system to the breaking point. According to a state law like no other in the U.S., New York City must provide immediate accommo dation, measuring up to certain health, comfort and safety standards, to anyone who requests it, even if they’re newly arrived to the city.

“We went through several different countries and jun gles to get here,” said the Venezuelan man, who arrived recently with his wife, with whom he’s living in a Queens shelter, and his daughter, who is already in school here. The entire journey from Venezuela to New York City took them two months, he said, but now that they’re here, they don’t want to leave. He said he has been finding any cash work available – fixing things, sweeping – “anything that somebody might need.”

He said his dream was to get legal papers, find steady work and be able to send money to his relatives in Vene zuela, which he said they left to escape “the president’s regime.” But he added that since arriving in New York, he and his family had received support and were, over all, happy.

Nearby on the sidewalk, another man, 39, his wife, 32, and their son, 9, stood alongside the stroller that held their 1-year-old baby. They had arrived in the city a month ago

Many migrants have traveled a long way from Latin American countries to get to New York City.

from Nicaragua, after a trip that involved walking across large swaths of Mexico. “We thought about all the bad things that could happen to us on the trip,” said the man, “but we still did it for our children.”

They arrived by bus at Port Authority at 6 a.m., followed by an intake that placed them in a hotel room, where the city is placing as many migrant families as possible. (In the right to shelter law, families must be given their own shelter unit; only single people can be in congregate settings.) They said they were being given free food, were scheduled to appear in immigration court on Oct. 4 and, yes, they wanted to stay in New York.

“The trip here was hard but not impossible,” the man said, “and now our dream is to settle here and work.”

It’s a dream they share with thousands of their fellow recent arrivals – and one that New York City Mayor Eric Adams has said he’s ready to honor. His team, even while tweeting that Abbott’s “continued use of human beings as political pawns is disgusting,” has said that “NYC will con tinue to welcome asylum seekers w/ open arms, as we have always done.”

But just how the city will do so has worried immigrant and shelter advocates. They objected to the mayor’s pro posed plan to use cruise ships to temporarily house migrants for whom there was no room in shelters or city-contracted hotels. On Sept. 22, he announced that the city would erect massive emergency tent complexes to accommodate the overage – the first of which, to house 1,000 single adults at a time, began being built in the Bronx’s Orchard Beach. Ad vocates have complained about the location because it is re mote, poorly connected to public transit and in a flood zone.

But yet another concern was that the tent sites will be under the city’s Emergency Management office rather than the shelter system, technically exempting them from shel ter rules, such as the requirement that everyone must have a proper mattress. The city released photos of what a site would look like, showing a massive open room with endless cots lined up. The city noted that such a space was for single adults for a maximum of 96 hours, but advocates still won dered how cots could accommodate a mattress.

“We’ve asked the city a number of questions about this,” said Legal Aid Society staff attorney Josh Goldfein, “but as far as the legal questions, it’s their view that these are not shelters or covered by those rules. But it’s never appropriate to place minor children in a congregate setting, and we’re trying to get an agreement (from the city) that they will defi nitely not do that.”

The proposed sites also raise legal questions about ac commodations for people with disabilities, added Goldfein. “They’ve told us they’re going to address that, but we’ve seen no details from them,” he said.

The mayor’s office, the Department of Social Services, the Department of Homeless Services and the Emergency Man agement office did not reply to multiple emails from City &

Masbia, a nonprofit soup kitchen and food pantry network, has been preparing meals and welcoming migrants coming into Port Authority on buses from Texas and other states.

State to clarify any of these details. Howev er, at a Sept. 27 press conference, the mayor appeared to confirm that the tent sites would not be subject to the rules of the shelter sys tem: “The migrant crisis is outside of the housing initiative that we are doing for right to shelter.”

Aside from worries that the emergency sites would not be appropriate, advocates also demanded that the city instantly take a num ber of steps to free up space in the shelter sys tem for the surge of asylum-seekers.

“There’s no reason in the world the city can’t immediately implement reforms to make it easier for people who are currently in shelter to get (permanent) housing,” said Catherine Trapani, executive director of Homeless Ser vices United, a coalition of about 50 nonprofits that also represents the majority of city-con tracted nonprofit shelters.

Among the things the city could do right now, she said, was to cut red tape so that ex isting shelter residents could get into per manent housing quickly after identifying an apartment and a landlord willing to take public assistance – such as rent vouchers for families – which landlords must do by law but which can be hard to enforce. The city could also pay off past-due invoices to its shelter providers, which would then allow the providers to open more facilities. It could slow down Housing Court eviction proceed ings, which have been slowly rising.

She added, “There are thousands of vacan cies between NYCHA, (the Department of Housing Preservation and Development) and supportive units (for people with special phys ical or mental health needs) that are currently unfilled for largely bureaucratic reasons.”

She said the city should continue to book asylum-seekers into vacant hotel rooms –a somewhat harder task than it was during COVID-19, when vacancy rates were soar ing – and that “there are other types of build ings more permanent than tents located in a flood zone, such as fitness centers and college dorms, that the city could repurpose.”

City agencies did not immediately respond to a City & State request asking if any of those solutions were in the works.

There’s also the issue of how soon those seeking asylum can legally work here – a fed eral matter. Asylum-seekers are not autho rized to work legally for about a year while

their case is pending. Recently, President Joe Biden’s administration took steps to stream line the asylum hearing process.

Meanwhile, a vast network of charity and mutual aid groups have been scrambling to help the city supply the asylum-seekers with everything they need, including food, clothes, toiletries and school supplies as well as legal support and mental health counsel ing. The first week that migrants began ar riving at Port Authority, they were met with warm welcome signs, food and new clothes from groups including Artists Athletes Ac tivists as well as Masbia, the latter of which cleaned out several Walmarts in order to greet newcomers with new pairs of shoes.

“We saw people arriving without shoes or maybe just flip-flops after being on a bus for 50 hours, so we decided that (giving people new) shoes would help give them back their dignity,” said Alex Rapaport, Masbia’s exec utive director. The experience was, he said, “surreal – a pop-up Ellis Island feel in a dark back alley,” by which he meant 41st Street, where the buses pulled in.

But advocates stressed the legal burden was on the city to make sure that the new comers were sheltered properly.

“I worry we’re being distracted by a cri sis,” Trapani said, “but we have to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.” When it comes to the ongoing need to shel ter people, she said, “We can’t let the bigger pieces fall by the wayside.” ■

SANCTUARY CITY?

THE ROAD TO

By Sahalie Donaldson

“LAKE ORCHARD”

THE PROPOSED SITE of a recently announced tent facility for newly arrived migrants is located in a far-flung coastal parking lot in the Bronx – an area prone to flooding.

The shelter will be erected in the Orchard Beach parking lot and will house up to 1,000 adults at a time, according to New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ office. There will be a second facility as well, which will house families with children, but the location hasn’t been confirmed yet. Described as “humanitarian emer gency response and relief centers,” a press release said the facilities will shelter and support asylum-seekers on a temporary basis. Two photo ex amples of what the Orchard Beach facility would look like showed mul tiple sweeping white tents packed together in a parking lot. Inside, uniform rows of cots stretched from one end of the structure to the other.

Orchard Beach is prone to flood ing, and the Atlantic hurricane sea son, which will run through the end of November, recently picked up momentum. The entire parking lot area is designated as a “special flood hazard area” on the Federal Emer gency Management Agency’s flood map and is entirely within the city’s “Zone 1” hurricane evacuation des ignation. But even a normal rain storm could potentially be an issue, according to an East Bronx political leader who asked for anonymity to

discuss a sensitive topic.

“I’m baffled by the whole thing. Flooding is a big concern, the weather, a transporta tion desert. And all the amenities that you would want somebody to get while they’re getting social services are not there,” the source told City & State, adding that Orchard Beach has always had issues with flooding and pooling during regular rainstorms.

Last year, The Bronx Times reported that several residents of the nearby City Island sent a letter in 2018 to a few city agencies, in cluding the Department of Transportation, outlining the drainage problems on sever al roads and how they’ve led to dangerous conditions. The entrance to Orchard Beach at Park Drive between Orchard Beach Road and City Island Road in particular has posed such an issue that some have informally dubbed it “Lake Orchard.”

“Everybody knows that it’s one of the more vulnerable geographies in the New York area,” said Anthony Rogers-Wright, director of environmental justice at New York Lawyers for the Public Interest. “It’s disappointing that this is the location that has been settled upon.”

He added that the city must put strong contingency plans in place now, because it is entirely possible for a storm to strike New York City in the months to come.

City officials said hundreds of people con tinue to arrive in New York City each day. They are primarily coming from Venezue la, fleeing violence and economic instabili ty, and can legally reside in the United States while seeking a more permanent status. Many asylum-seekers have been bused from Texas under a political ploy by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. Under a long-standing court ruling, New York City is obligated to provide a bed to every person who requests one. The city’s homeless shelter system has been over whelmed by the increased numbers in recent months – more than 10,000 people, accord

ing to Adams’ office – and City Hall has been desperate for temporary solutions to meet its legal obligations and to live up to New York’s reputation as a sanctuary for migrants.

Since the city’s announcement, elected officials and immigration and homeless ad vocacy organizations have voiced concerns about the planned facility. New York City Council Member Shahana Hanif, who is the Immigration Committee chair, likened the structure to a refugee camp and said the pho tos show that it “will inevitably fail to meet the bare minimum standards” of the shelter system. The Legal Aid Society and Coalition for the Homeless released a joint statement expressing concerns about any scenario that would place families with children in a con gregate setting. State Sen. Jessica Ramos of Queens said she has never seen the city offer anything like the tents to homeless New Yorkers in the past, Gothamist reported.

A city spokesperson said safety will be the top priority at the Orchard Beach facility and that all necessary measures will be taken to

keep people safe – including from inclement weather. The tents will be climate controlled and weatherized, though additional details have yet to be provided. The city has also emphasized that anyone staying within the center will do so on a temporary basis, likely around one to four days.

“This is something that we’re bringing to the table and it’s humanity, it’s making sure that the asylum-seekers have a safe, sanitary place to stay. This is a priority not only to my self, but certainly to the borough president and the mayor,” said Council Member Mar jorie Velázquez, whose district encompasses Orchard Beach. “This will not be built over night and I can reassure you that there’s a lot of conversation (taking place).”

Velázquez said it was essential that the city create an environment where asy lum-seekers can get off the bus and have an opportunity to “stop and breathe” while re ceiving services like health checks. She con firmed that she also recently asked the city to increase the number of police officers from

precincts covering the area – which she said are facing staffing shortages – to bolster pub lic safety and resources for the community and any asylum-seekers who will be housed at Orchard Beach.

Kathryn Kliff, a staff attorney in The Legal Aid Society’s Homeless Rights Proj ect, said the nonprofit and the Coalition for the Homeless recently sent a long list of ques tions to the city that underscore both orga nizations’ concerns about the plans. Orchard Beach is an isolated area and a long walk from public transportation, she said. Buses don’t go to the location during the off-season, however, the city told City & State that trans portation will be provided to asylum-seekers.

“The location is not our first choice by any means,” Kliff said. “Obviously they wanted a large space for the type of facili ty they are envisioning, but being that far away from everything is certainly concern ing to us, especially if people are going to be staying there for up to 96 hours, that’s quite a few days, and people might need to do things and get things.”

Underscoring these concerns was the fact that many of the people who would seek shel ter there are likely to have experienced an immense amount of trauma getting into the U.S. and making their way to New York City. Communal settings where large numbers of people are sheltered under a single roof aren’t the best environment for people to heal from trauma, nor are they always the safest place to be – especially for families with children, according to Kliff.

“We appreciate the city dialoguing with us and we’re happy to try and help come up with solutions, but we do want to make sure that people’s legal rights are still being hon ored and that people are safe and in a situ ation where they can get the services they need.” Kliff said. “We still have a lot of ques tions about how that is going to work on a day-to-day basis.”

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has gotten into a war of words with the Texas governor over the busloads of migrants being sent to the city.

INSIDE NEW YORK’S LARGEST PSYCHIATRIC PROVIDER

On an average day, almost 3,000 people with mental illnesses are detained on Rikers – and they need better care.

By Annie McDonough

AROUND THIS TIME last fall, a delegation of state and local lawmakers visited Rik ers Island, New York City’s 400-acre jails complex in the East River. More than a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, amid a spike in violent incidents and chronic absentee ism among staff, elected officials had come to see for themselves what had been described as an unrelenting crisis.

Some of them ended up seeing something unimag inable: an attempted suicide. “I had never witnessed something like that before,” state Sen. Jessica Ramos told City & State recently. “It was truly disheartening to see someone feel so hopeless that they really only saw that as their way out.”

Just over a year later, with a new mayor and a new commissioner leading the Department of Correction,

New York City is still dealing with this cri sis. Sixteen people have died after being held in custody so far this year, and five of those deaths were suicides or suspected suicides. New York City isn’t alone here. Between 2000 and 2019, suicides were the leading cause of deaths in jails – facilities that hold individuals still awaiting their day in court, or some people serving short sentences.

But New York faces the challenge of stemming this crisis at a massive scale. Rikers Island is one of the largest psychi atric care providers in the country, and it is the largest psychiatric provider in New York City. Half of Rikers’ population in the previous fiscal year had a mental health diagnosis – about 2,780 people – and 16% had a serious mental health diagnosis. In the face of the immense responsibility of caring for those people in custody, some lawmakers and criminal justice advocates said the city was flat out failing. “New York City jails often lack adequate men tal health services, which has contribut ed to unsafe conditions for detainees and staff working within the jail complex,” Reps. Carolyn Maloney and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wrote in an April letter to Mayor Eric Adams.

The New York City Board of Correction has recommended policy and management changes to improve access to mental health care on Rikers, including having medical staff conducting more regular rounds of the intake areas and improving mental health treatment training for correction officers, while others have called for expanding the number of dedicated psychiatric units in the jails system.

But some advocates and progressive law makers argued that the best solution to these problems was a much bigger under taking: diverting many more mentally ill people involved in the criminal justice sys tem to treatment programs, rather than jail ing them. “It’s important to recognize that lots of these folks shouldn’t be in jail,” New York City Council Member Tiffany Cabán said. “They should be in their communities receiving the kind of mental health care that they need and deserve.”

PROBLEMS STARTING AT INTAKE

An individual’s access to mental health care on Rikers often starts during the intake

process. A mental health screening is sup posed to happen for every person in custody within 24 hours of their arrival. The same window applies for general medical intake screening. But in practice, some criminal justice advocates said, people sometimes have to wait several days for those screen ings. “I think the problems often start there,” said Julia Solomons, a senior policy social worker at Bronx Defenders, a public defender nonprofit.

Brandon Rodriguez, a 25-year-old man who died by suicide on Rikers in August 2021 after just a few days in custody, had a recorded history of mental illness during a previous detention at Rikers. But last year, Rodriguez was held in an intake area of the Otis Bantum Correctional Center – one of eight active facilities on Rikers – for more than two days before receiving his initial mental health assessment, according to a recent report by the Board of Correction.

Rodriguez’s mother has since filed a lawsuit

New York City Mayor Eric Adams visited Rikers in July to talk with incarcerated people.

against the city, alleging numerous viola tions in how Rodriguez was treated, includ ing the delay in his initial assessment.

If a person is flagged as having a mental health issue or is in need of further evalu ation during the initial screening, they will then be referred for a more comprehensive mental health assessment. Mental health staff at Correctional Health Services – the division of New York City Health + Hos pitals responsible for health care on Rik ers – could determine whether the person needs to be hospitalized at Bellevue Hospi tal’s psychiatric ward or possibly be housed in one Rikers’ specialized units that offer more direct access to psychiatric services and closer observation. Correctional Health Services staff could also determine at this point whether a person should be placed under suicide watch.

In June, 82% of the 371 referrals that were made for mental health services took place within 72 hours.

FEWER BARRIERS TO CARE IN SPECIALIZED UNITS

The level of psychiatric care that a person in custody has access to largely depends on where the person is housed. Most peo ple on Rikers – including those with men tal illnesses – will be housed in the general population across the island, and they’re meant to receive access to individual coun seling and medication treatment through Correctional Health Services. But a smaller number of incarcerated people with serious mental health issues will be placed in spe cialized units meant to offer more regular observation and access to treatment.

The least intensive level is known as men tal observation, of which there are current ly 15 units, many of them in the Anna M. Kross Center, the largest jail on Rikers Is land. Mental observation units are intend ed to house people with more serious mental illnesses who might require closer clinical evaluation or are on suicide watch. Mental health staff are assigned to work in these units, and according to Correctional Health Services, the units involve group therapy, individual counseling, medication manage ment and community-building activities. Still, some advocates said these units only amount to slightly modified general popu lation housing. Cabán said she consistent ly hears that people in mental observation units feel that they’re not getting enough at tention or care, but she added that she has heard some positive reports: “There were a couple of units we walked through where they did report that they regularly saw and had a (health) practitioner available to them in their unit.”

A newer specialized housing program, known as the Program to Accelerate Clin ical Effectiveness, houses people with seri ous mental health issues and is more akin to inpatient psychiatric care, people famil iar with the system said. These units were modeled on the existing Clinical Alterna tive to Punitive Segregation program, an intensive inpatient alternative to punitive segregation for those with serious mental illnesses.

According to the Department of Correc tion’s website, PACE units are meant to offer intensive treatment to those who “struggle to function adequately while incarcerated due to chronic mental illness, risk of acute

psychiatric decompensation, and/or be havioral disruption.” A step up from men tal observation units, PACE units include dedicated staff from medicine, nursing and mental health services, as well as correction officers with some additional training.

“When you go into those units, you’ll find that things do tend to be a little bit calmer in those spaces,” Cabán said of her visits to PACE units. “It’s clear that people are also, for better or worse, heavily medicated.”

One benefit that both kinds of units share is a more direct access to medication than individuals in custody usually receive when they’re in the general population. For the most part, people in PACE and mental ob servation units can receive their medication in their unit, while those in general popula tion usually need to be escorted by a correc tion officer to retrieve their medication. “For the people that have to be escorted down to get their medications, things like alarms, things like insufficient DOC escorts, will hinder that availability of medications,” said S. Lucas Marquez, associate director of civil rights and law reform at Brooklyn De fender Services. “Someone might be labeled as ‘not treatment compliant,’ but it actual ly just turns out that they haven’t had the opportunity to be given their medication, as opposed to a refusal (of it).”

Still, some report problems accessing medication even in these specialized units. “My clients tell me that even on the PACE unit, the thing that they don’t like is they have to be awake when someone comes around to dispense the medication,” said Katherine Bajuk, a mental health specialist at New York County Defender Services. “At 5:30, when someone comes to their hous ing cell and says, ‘Come take this morning medication,’ sometimes they’re just sleep ing, and they miss it that way.” Bajuk said this can hurt her clients when courts look into a person’s compliance with medication when considering treatment alternatives to incarceration.

The Department of Correction has re ported that individuals who have been housed in PACE or CAPS units are involved in fewer use-of-force incidents and have lower rates of self-harm. Solomons argued that there weren’t enough of the specialized PACE units for the number of people who could benefit from being housed there. “It’s

not that people are not sick enough for those beds, it’s that they have to triage and pick only the absolute sickest people who can be in those units,” she said. “And they move people off of those units fairly quickly if they show signs of improvement, which is also often a bad situation for folks – once they get stable and they go back to the general popu lation and they decompensate again.” Plans to expand the PACE units, which start ed under former Mayor Bill de Blasio, have stalled under Mayor Eric Adams’ adminis tration. There are currently 12 PACE units on Rikers, according to the Department of Correction, which added that it is open to the possibility of expanding these units.

Although individuals in PACE units or even under mental observation can face fewer barriers to accessing mental health care than those in the general population, it doesn’t guarantee a person’s safety.

In August, Michael Nieves, a 40-year-old man who was housed in a PACE unit in the Anna M. Kross Center, died after slitting his throat in front of two correction officers and a captain who failed to respond for 10 minutes, The New York Times reported. The officers and captain were suspended pending an investigation.

TRIAGE CONDITIONS

Incarcerated people housed in the gener al population require correction officers to escort them to clinic visits with Correc tional Health Services. The Department of Correction pointed to data showing that roughly half of missed clinic appointments were due not to a lack of available escorts, but to people in custody refusing to go. A department spokesperson said that the lack of an officer escort accounted for 0.5% of missed medical appointments. But the re cently released Mayor’s Management Re port acknowledged that the department’s staffing problems played a role in missed appointments in the previous fiscal year.

“Although the Department aims to pro duce as many individuals to the clinic as possible, staffing shortages contributed to an increase in overall non-production numbers during Fiscal 2022,” the report read.

“Our medical non-productions, which are published on our site, show that non-produc

tion in June and July declined by approxi mately 40% when compared to June and July of 2021 – a substantial improvement,” a de partment spokesperson wrote in an email. The department has also assigned additional staff in each facility to be available for escort ing individuals to the clinic. At the Rose M. Singer Center, which houses women in cus tody, “low classification” individuals no lon ger require an escort to the clinic.

Department of Correction Commission er Louis Molina, who is on the clock to in stitute reforms at Rikers to avoid a judge installing a federal receivership, said the department’s staffing problems have im proved since he took over in January. The city comptroller’s office reported, however, that the share of uniformed staffers out each day was still far above pre-pandemic levels.

In June, the most recent month for which data on mental health services was avail able, Correctional Health Services reported completing 63% of 13,759 scheduled mental health services across the jails, while 31% –or 4,246 services – were missed because the person was not brought there. This data didn’t specify why the person wasn’t brought to the visit.

When a health issue arises – for example a new mental health problem that wasn’t pres ent during intake or a need to adjust or be prescribed medication – a person in custody can ask to be escorted to the clinic by a cor rection officer or call a Correctional Health Services hotline. But when those visits aren’t completed for whatever reason, it can take advocates on the outside to follow through.

“It’ll often take two or three emails (to Cor rectional Health Services) in combination with the client asking and trying to get seen, for them to see the psychiatrist,” Solomons said. “I often wonder what it looks like for people in custody who don’t have advocates that are pushing on the other side for them.”

Cabán, who worked as a public defend er before joining the City Council this year, said individuals in custody have resorted to desperate actions to be seen by doctors.

“There are folks that will resort to selfharm in order to be able to get to see a doc tor, or resort to self-harm to get on suicide watch and then be able to see a psychiatrist or other mental health facility on the is land,” Cabán said.

Wilson Diaz-Guzman, a 30-year-old man who died by suicide after being held in

custody last year, was seen by mental health staff on Rikers after he reported making “superficial scratches” on his arm several days before his death because he was afraid for his safety and “wanted someone to pay attention to him,” according to a Board of Correction report.

Several people City & State spoke to com plimented the efforts of Correctional Health Services staff to treat people on Rikers, but said that because of the crisis conditions in the jails system and the level of care people need, incarcerated individuals often need to be their own best advocates. “When they do access care and are sitting down with a clin ical professional, I think at least some of the time that’s a productive visit. But I do think it requires a lot of advocacy on the part of the client and being forthcoming about what’s going on with them,” Solomons said. “Ev eryone is moving quickly and just trying to triage.”

Persistence – from individuals them selves or from advocates on the outside –was sometimes needed to secure a suicide watch status too. Solomons said it recently took two weeks for a client to be moved to a unit where they could be placed on suicide

watch. “For someone that’s experiencing suicidal ideation, those two weeks are pretty critical,” she said.

The department spokesperson said in a statement: “The department is also com mitted to suicide prevention, and we provide our recruit correction officers with exten sive training in suicide prevention during their onboarding.” After vetting and train ing, people in custody can also be hired as suicide prevention aides to assist correction officers in observing people deemed at high er risk for suicide or self-harm. A recent Board of Correction report recommended significantly raising wages for these aides, who are currently paid $1.45 an hour, to in centivize more participation.

Staff at Correctional Health Services make the determination for when a person should be placed on or removed from sui cide watch, but Department of Correction staff are responsible for monitoring some one on suicide watch. Health staff also conduct rounds to those individuals to de termine if clinical intervention is needed, but it’s unclear how often those rounds are made. Suicide watch requires a person to be under constant supervision by correc

tion officers – not just with surveillance cameras but “uninterrupted personal vi sual observation,” according to the de partment’s rules.

In their recent report, the Board of Cor rection noted that several of the people who died by suicide in 2021 had been placed on suicide watch and then taken off after a cou ple days. In Javier Velasco’s case, Correction al Health Services discontinued his suicide watch after 30 hours, which followed Vel asco’s attempted suicide and disclosing pre vious attempts while in custody. The state Commission of Correction identified the de cision to remove Velasco from suicide watch as premature, and the commission’s Medical Review Board stated that his death was “pre ventable had his suicidal ideation been prop erly identified and treated.”

The Board of Correction further found insufficient staffing to be a “persistent problem,” citing it as an issue in several of the deaths by suicide on Rikers in 2021. “Suicides in jail are preventable,” Dr. Rob ert Cohen, a member of the Board of Cor rection, wrote in an email. “Rates of suicide in New York City’s jails are skyrocketing because people are housed where no floor officers are present. If DOC cannot provide adequate supervision, it should decrease the population in its jails.”

TREATMENT NOT JAILS

State Sen. Jessica Ramos and Assembly Member Phara Souffrant Forrest sponsored a bill in the state Legislature to reduce the number of people with mental illnesses on Rikers. The Treatment Not Jails bill would expand eligibility for mental health diver sion programs in the justice system, with the goal of keeping people with mental ill nesses out of Rikers in the first place. If the blowback to the state’s bail reforms was any indication, the bill, first introduced in 2020, could face a rocky path in the Leg islature. But Forrest and Ramos both said they hope to advance it in the upcoming ses sion. “In the budget dance last cycle, I felt like I did make good headway in helping so many people understand what the bill really does,” Ramos said. “I think a lot of people are starting to better understand the legal ese, if you will, instead of succumbing to knee-jerk reactions.” ■

“When you go into those units, you’ll find that things do tend to be a little bit calmer in those spaces. It’s clear that people are also, for better or worse, heavily medicated.”

THE 2022 NONPROFIT POWER 100

NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS PLAY an invaluable and yet overlooked role in New York. Social services nonprofits contract with government agencies to carry out essential functions, whether it’s protecting children, caring for the elderly or providing aid to the poor. Some nonprofits represent vulnerable New Yorkers in court while seek ing criminal justice reforms as well. Others focus on homeless ness, housing, immigration, public transit and access to health care, to name a few. These organizations, with rare exceptions,

are led by idealistic executives who toil day after day to make New York a better place.

The Nonprofit Power 100, a partnership between City & State and its sister publication, New York Nonprofit Media, identifies the sector’s most important and effective leaders. It also high lights top government officials and heads of major philanthropies whose funding and oversight drive the work of New York’s non profits. Read on to see where everyone stacks up in the 2022 Non profit Power 100 – including a No. 1 who’s new to this year’s list.

Remember Christopher Columbus? The explorer who arrived to Haiti, an island with a population of about 3 million Taíno people, in 1492? Fifty years after his first voyage, 500 Indigenous people remained. Soon after landing, he wrote to Ferdinand and Isabella, monarchs of Spain: “With 50 men all of them could be held in subjection and can be made to do whatever one might wish.” Anyway, Gov. Kathy Hochul and Rep. Lee Zeldin are down to march in the Columbus Day parade to honor that guy.

WINNERS

JULIE MENIN

Good news for small-business own ers. Thanks to a measure sponsored by New York City Council Member Julie Menin, anyone wanting to roll out their own business will have an easier time doing so going forward. The council gave its stamp of ap proval to Menin’s legislation, known as the One-Stop Shop NYC Busi ness Portal, that will bring crucial documentation and application info under a single web portal.

THE BEST OF THE REST

PHILIP BANKS

Kickboxing crime, on company time? One of New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ deputy mayors is decidedly behind the scenes, staying out of the spotlight since he was an unindicted co-conspirator in a corruption case. But his public schedules suggest that Banks is a power player in the administration.

JAMES TEBELE

The 21-year-old son of Digital Gadgets founder and CEO Charlie Tebele was revealed to have had an internship with the governor’s campaign, which then became a full-time position as campaign finance associate. Tebele’s dad and his company have been caught in the middle of the COVID-19 test kit scandal.

LOSERS

LEE ZELDIN

It’s tough running as a Republican in New York, we get it. A statewide race is an uphill battle, both ways, in the snow. Polling showed he’s down by 17 percentage points. But Rep. Lee Zeldin didn’t just dispute the numbers, he offered his own. His campaign released an inter nal poll that showed he was only 6 points behind Hochul. Which just didn’t really feel like quite the brag he was hoping for.

THE REST OF THE WORST LOUIS MOLINA

Adams’ embattled jails commissioner came under a fresh wave of scrutiny. He was accused of pushing for the release of a dying man in order to lower the death count on Rikers Island and faces the likelihood of the City Council passing a bill to ban solitary confinement.

LAURA KELLY

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly was roasted by Adams. “Kansas doesn’t have a brand,” he said while laughing. “When you go there, OK, you’re from Kansas. But New York has a brand.” In response, Kelly declared Kansas to be the “best state in America.”
