Cleveland Housing Network's Heroin Hotels

[1]

On Thursday March 2, 2017 Kathy Urban Montebank HGIC at the funds starved corrupt Cleveland Housing Network made a presentation to a enormous crowd of 19 residents of Brooklyn Centre regarding the NEW Heroin Hotel she hopes to siphon millions and millions of your federal tax dollars to build. There are ALREADY TEN of these Heroin Hotels, INCLUDING one less than a mile away at 3323 West 25th Street ALL fraudulently classified as Land Use 6800 and paying zero dollars in federal, state or local taxes and ZERO in property taxes as well on an income of $10 million dollars per year to CHN and EDEN, ALL YOUR TAX DOLLARS. Although "many" PUBLIC community meetings were promised to "explain" the "benefits" of this Section 8 housing where homeless heroin addicts are free to shoot up in the privacy of their free air conditioned, furnished apartments which will cost over $250,000 of YOUR tax dollars PER UNIT to build, there was actually only ONE public meeting. And it did NOT go well. So they carefully chose this unpublicized meeting at Gino's bar which is a monthly meeting never drawing more than 25 local residents. The site of this new proposed Heroin Hotel is the condemned YMCA on Pearl Road which is a stone's throw from the ZOO and where millions and millions of Cleveland Public School children walk right past EVERY DAY on the way to various failing Cleveland Public Schools across the bridge to Old Brooklyn. Kathy and her BFF at EDEN, Irene "Dollar Bill" Collins with HER lucrative federal funds guzzling portfolio of 102 fraudulently classified Land Use 6800 “homes for the aged” and the huge staff at Metro Fulton Detroit West or whatever the fuck it's called this week "community" "development" "corporation" are trying to RAM this Heroin Hotel through by claiming to have massive community support by pretending 19 residents are representative of the entire neighborhood of 9000 people. And EVEN this tiny .002% of the population is not falling for her BS. Kathy made the OUTRAGEOUS claim that this overpriced homeless shelter full of active drug users, felons and sex offenders would somehow benefit the struggling neighborhood already full of drug users, felons and sex offenders and several attendees interrupted her by shouting "YOU DON'T LIVE HERE". Kathy also feigned girlish ignorance when confronted by an attendee regarding the fraudulently classified Land Use 6800 PROPERTY TAX EXEMPT status of their partner in crime EDEN, which has saved CHN/EDEN hundreds of thousands of dollars. It seems to Kathy and the "brain" trust at CHN, efficiency apartments would be a bit cramped for active heroin users and sex offenders. So now instead of 60 efficiency units, they are proposing 80 ONE BEDROOM units. And I'm sure the fact that HUD generously allows an additional $$200 per unit in Section 8 rent pumping the rent from $600 to $800 for a SINGLE homeless drug addict per month PER UNIT has NOTHING to do with that decision. Oh and by the way, Kathy bragged that these addicts are fast tracked to a monthly SSI "disability"check by the enablers (social workers) at 21 Jump Street aka The Men's Homeless shelter at 2100 Lakeside. More of your tax dollars at work paying people to do nothing. Except take drugs and commit crimes. I don't think Kathy has gotten the memo that Dr. Ben Carson, NOT Fidel Castro Jr,  is now the Secretary of HUD and I can say with confidence that the new priorities under President Trump are unlikely to include providing free obscenely expensive furnished air conditioned apartments to active heroin users and sex offenders classified as "homeless" because they sleep under a tree in the summer.
