HOMELESS SHELTERS (SHELTER HOPPING)
I have been in the system since October 10, 2007. Intake, the Bronx; transferred to Brooklyn, back to the Bronx; transferred back to Brooklyn; then Manhattan (near the Village); now Park Avenue. This is due to my non-criminal case (nullity) -- August 25, 2004 - October 10, 2007. In all fairness to the Director of the Department of Homeless Shelters, Commissioner Seth Diamond, he was not aware of my being Harbored from Justice. Now, he is... Oh, my!!! These are the doings of inside jobs -- supportive staff (the Gate's connections)-- and there is an Injunction out there that applies to ALL SHELTERS. The only common ground RULES that these shelters adhere to: "Can't leave the shelter before 6:00 a.m. and sign the bed sheets by 10:00 p.m. And, they use DHS to intimidate, coerce. One shelter had an adult staff from DHS to "help" with housing and he never did a report, or contacted me again. I guess my letter writings and imminent injunction, were too overwhelming for him. THEY MAKE THE RULES TO BREAK THE LAW!!!!
I don't know why anyone, in their right minds, would come from out of town to reside in a shelter, here in New York City. Not too long ago, Mayor Bloomberg was buying one-way tickets for the homeless to go to another states, of their choice, to reside. Are they coming back????
Being transferred, without your consent or knowledge has caused havoc, and undue, unnecessary stress. One shelter has more than ample space for YOUR BELONGINGS, when transferred--very little, the next shelter more than ample space, then there's none - but they will permit you to keep YOUR BELONGINGS until you take to storage or find other alternatives. The latter, threw away selective articles of MY BELONGINGS -- coats, jeans, rain jacket, sweat pants and jackets; bathrobe--beauty needs -- hair-rollers (packaged), shampoo, conditioner, carrot oil, etc. -- yet they had storage, until I took MY BELONGINGS to my storage area, the next day, like I said I would. It's amazing, if one goes to a store and "shoplift," or "boost," you might go to jail for stealing or pay up. What's the difference?? I paid for my belongings. -- Security for the Armory, decided to change jobs, at a glance, and work for DHS, by instructing me to go to the precinct to use their restroom, because I am not officially a client, until I am registered--I did. Could the Addendum be a malicious aforethought??? Lights were out--all fixed, except--you guessed it--. Since this an Armory, the lights are on a track--which means there is one light that controls the others --if that main light's fixture is out--all is out--on the same row. This is clearly SELECTIVE PROFILING - pre-meditated, to say the least. They lie-in-wait -- then try to ambush - or obstruct, whatever THEY think you might do- e.g., your hair. First, I am told, you are not allowed to bring your own laundry detergent (I do), after seeing it was allowed. Some clients, as well as staff, are into charades, Ebonics, urbanonics, romper room antics, etc. One recent client said the "N" word with "itis" behind it. Go figure. I told her it's very offensive, and then some. Others get a "kick" from using their flash lights like tasers -- "star wars." This almost resembles my non-criminal case - 3946-04. Speaking of my non-criminal case, I go by Rikers Island's standards. As I asked staff -- What makes you think that this shelter is better than Rikers Island? No snacks -- yet they eat at the desks in front of you (you can have commissary at Rikers??? and Mid-Hudson); no being on the phone (one shelter took all camera phones away); the night staff--men - would stay in the dorm where it is wide open, and they will stay until dressed, lights on -- no respect--while the female staff are preparing breakfast, or would go into the bathroom "AND, THE NERVE TO ANNOUNCE -- "MAN ON THE FLOOR" (ALL STAFF ARE NOT LIKE THE "GATE'S CONNECTIONS). The officers, civilians, as well as detainees were great, respectful to you and your needs. These people (some) has demonstrated MORAL DEPRAVITY. Every shelter I was transferred to -- I would tell them this is NOT AN DHS ISSUE, BUT THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM GATE'S moral obligation to take care of my needs. I paid my debt to society, needlessly, I was unlawfully and illegally incarcerated,with an embedded tasered left chest in tow. NOW SOCIETY IS INDEBTED TO ME, and I expect them to PAY UP.
Judge John Cleland summed it up very well, in another case, which I have coined "YOU ABUSED THE TRUST OF THOSE WHO TRUSTED YOU ... THE CRIME IS ALSO YOUR ASSAULT TO THEIR PSYCHES AND THEIR SOULS. IT IS THE REMARKABLE ABILITY TO CONCEAL THAT MAKES THESES CRIMES SO HEINOUS."
It's not like they do not have documentations.
The only "housing" offered are supportive housing. You reside where they want you to, and medication is given. That's why there is a "blanket" injunction; why I was transferred, and the staff who decided to become a link to the "Gate," are no longer employed there.
ADDENDUM: I hope that this is the last entry. To further substantiate the "Gate's" connections, the latter shelter, knowing that the bathroom is full beyond capacity, with a shower area, and two washing machines, decided to put two clothes dryers, in front of two bathroom stalls, which is unsanitary and odors seep like carbon monoxide. Not to mention the disturbance of clients, and staff coming in and out of the ladies room, if not for usage, for "cleaning." The Bronx, here I come, eventually--the laundry mat--my card, after two shelters hopping, still carries $2.55--of course I checked. And, the last straw was a 1:15 AM fire drill, with the fourth floor under construction, [for another shelter dorm area?????], who think of these things????, one side of the staircase is totally blocked off. Of course, I took another route, the only one hm mm!!!!. Alone, at least felt less trampled. Thankfully, everyone was safe. Of course, everyone did not participate--hm mm!!!! -- less trampled????.
ADDENDUM: Did I say less trampled above, about a fire drill??? Well, some genius decided it would better to build a "tunnel" to enter the dorm--which I coined "the underground railroad," in order to control a "lounge-like" setting area--instead of sealing the no doors that were non-existent, they decided to seal the whole damn room. Ain't that rich!!!!
SHELTER ABUSE SYNDROME (SAS)
The shelter abuse syndrome (SAS) continues, via shelter hopping. August 30, 2013, I was, again transferred to a shelter in the Bronx and according to Google, it's a men's shelter, which generated genuine skepticism, coupled with the fact that it was after midnight. The Park Avenue facility, who originated this, via a temporary contractor through DHS, decided to exercise their no authority, abuse of titles, used criminal coercion, called the police, who in turn, used their criminal coercion and stated that if I was not on the bus, I will go to jail. I gave the "officer" my NYSID No. 3169626N, and after they left, I called Internal Affairs Bureau. The puzzling part of this illegal transfer is that this shelter houses a dog; I never met or spoke to the transferors; and the so-called social worker, whose name is not on any deed, and I met with her a week ago, knew that on the internet it states a men's shelter, but changed over to women's. In any event, though the bus was not operated by DHS, I arrived safely at 2:30 a.m. Let the abuse continue. My laundry detergent and about six lighters remain stolen, I was put on a top bunk, climbing up and down, food lousy. To add insult to injury, I had to meet with so-called social workers, two (2) with same names and don't know or care what the other is doing, their supervisor, ditto, and an advocate for the clients, who owns this shelter. All are tardy, verbal abusers, and want you think that you are crazy, and "gaslight" you, e.g., "Miss Mack, are you now ready to see me," -- more like a half-hour ago--after she saunters in with cup in hand; the housing specialist makes a six o"clock appointment--I just arrived-- I had to wait another half-hour--another sauntering in. Do they practice these steps??? On-the-job tardiness with sauntering as a back-up???? Then at another meeting, they decided on an ambush tactic with gestapo interrogations and malicious communicating--"WHAT DO YOU DO ALL DAY," "WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOUR TIME," "YOU WANT TO LIVE IN A SHELTER," "DO YOU EAT HERE?," "YOU LIKE LIVING OUT OF YOUR STORAGE," "YOU DON'T SAVE???" Then the "big cheese," Ms. client advocacy walks in -- She did CPL 730s in court, she owns this place, I am taking up space, someone else can use the bed, and will give me a list of housing to look at; and since I am too comfortable -- She wanted me transferred to another dorm. I told her that I was in a dorm with 50 women at Rikers; I also told them, separately or together, what I do with my time is no one's business; they did not get over, like they think they did, and I will tie them with August 25, 2004, tasered chest--" I wasn't there," her reply -- "but you are an accessory after-the-fact, an aider and abettor after-the-fact--I am sure you heard of those words."
I had to try to figure out what was going on with these people--I knew it was connected to the "gate," as in THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM GATE and ITS CONNECTIONS, so I decided to "play" them. I asked for a shelter letter -- what for??? Social Secuirty??? You see, I met with a social worker, same exact name on a Sunday, was to meet again, Marathon Sunday, with a reminder, in writing, which never took place. At that first meeting, a letter, along with a business card was given to me. The second person was not aware of her "alter-ego." As a matter of fact, none of them are or plain forgot. GAMING THE SYSTEM!!!
Since someone pulled a fast switch, and appointed another Commissioner of DHS, Michelle Ovesey, as soon as I saw her name in the papers, about shelters, I looked her up on Google, contacted her, via e-mail, and briefly stated that I have been communicating with Commissioner Diamond about my plight. I swear if I didn't read the newspapers, I would never know what's going on. This coup was great!!! I have been writing to the Commissioners that my sheltering here is not DHS' responsibiity to house me, to shelter, yes. It is the Criminal Justice System's obligation to do so, because of my FALSE IMPRISONMENT, COUPLED WITH A TASERED EMBEDDED CHEST, AND I AM PRO-SE, and the "gate" have demonstrated moral depravity. After all these years, I found 18 U.S. CODE 4282 - ARRESTED BUT UNCONVICTED PERSONS - which states in part "the Court in its discretion may direct the U.S, Marshall for the district wherein he is released, pursuant to regulations promulgated by the Attorney General, to furnish the person so released with transportation and subsistence to the place of his arrest, or, at his election, to the place of his bona fide residence, if such cost is not greater than to the place of his arrest." (I was released October 10, 2007, via Part 40, side door, Bronx County Supreme Court). That, along with a deluge of correspondence was sent to Commissioner Ovesey, DHS. I also gave to the above copies of the correspondence, e.g., I AM SEEKING A TRANSFER." and the correspondence I wrote about them. They scheduled a meeting with a NO-NAME Psychiatrist, who is NOT an on-site doctor, like other shelters, as he left. I also wrote to the Executive Director, with a copy of UNCONVICTED PERSONS.
Some of the security personnel, that is associated with a name that I am trying to identify, needs to work for the Taliban. If I am not mistaken, the LAW ENFORCERS, POLICE, NYPD, ET.AL, CASE IS IN FEDERAL COURT -- CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS??? and every time I mention that to them, they violate more. Taking away my comfort sealed snacks, AND I HAVE A DOCTOR'S NOTE, on file, and wrote to the Director.
OPERATIONS, who oversees, mostly everything, are GREAT!!!! -- SAFETY FIRST -- From the Neighborhood, to it's a Wonderful Life, to everyone who assisted me in getting another bed, from the bunker, and transfers out of the dorms when the lunatics started preying, without saying a word, maintenance done swiftly, etc.-- HATS OFF!!! -- no hearsay, willful blindness, there. Thanks!!!!
And special thanks and acknowledgements to my friends, who did my intake, mid- September. Without their professionalism, due diligence, submitting every document given to them, my already tampered documents, would be shredded. With the sincerest thanks!!
I can't contain myself. By reading the newspapers, I found out who the Chief Administrative Judge of the State of New York, Office of Court Administration is and I wrote her about my case in court. No, no name. FYI: OCA is next door to DHS,
Thank you!!!
