Name: Theodore A. Dorian on Jun 10, 2008Comments: I am president of the St. George Civic Association, an organization of area residents and businesses that unanimously opposes this facility, even as we have welcomed and tolerated more social service facilities by far than any other part of the borough. It is not a good way to house patients, either for their own sake or the community's.Flag

Name: Sheila C. Swigert on Jun 10, 2008Comments: As president of a cooperative apartment building which sits next to the proposed facility, I am totally opposed to St. Vincent's proposal to store parolees and substance abusers with mental problems in this residential area.Flag

Name: Victoria V. Harding on Jun 10, 2008Comments: The former convent building could be used in many ways that would greatly benefit the neighborhood and the larger community, including those with mental and other problems who are now served by the many social services presently available in St. George.Flag

Name: Linda McMillan on Jun 10, 2008Comments: This facility should not be housed in this neighborhood. We already house far too many social service agencies.Flag

Name: John Scarangello on Jun 11, 2008Comments: Please reconsider this project. There is a public school on the same block and two HS's literally 4 blocks away. This is definitely a disaster waiting to happen.Flag

Name: Mary L. Bullock on Jun 11, 2008Comments: Not in my backyard -- It's already in my backyard, my front yard, the alleys, the main thoroughfares. St. George has more than its share of social services . This facility could tip the balance and destroy any hope of a renaissance. The New York Times already characterized our street life as being "dominated by social service clients."Flag

Name: Sarah Power on Jun 11, 2008Comments: Such a facility is not appropriate for this community. There are two lower schools and two high schools within a two-to-three block radius around the site. It could have extremely dire consequences on both our neighborhood and our children.Flag

Name: Jeffrey Gallo on Jun 11, 2008Comments: This facility has no place in any residental nieghborhood, especially since it is within 3 blocks of a public schools and in the center of a neighborhood that is trying to survive while the city is dumping every type of social service, group home,treatment center all in ONE community. This will be the tipping point of destroy the neighborhood and is a danger to my child who goes to school one block from the facility and anyone who is trying to be safe walking the streets. This is a terrible social experiment that can only cause harm to my community. Ex cons and mentally unstable individuals (unsupervised) roaming the neighborhood and the State providing free room and board is a disaster waiting to happen. This facility is categorically wrong and must be stopped.Flag

Name: Joann Wojcik on Jun 11, 2008Comments: We all know the need for a facility like this is needed, but not at the location you have choosen. It is surrounded by four school's and the welfare of the children attending these schools should strongly be looked into before any final plans are made.Flag

Name: Joseph X. Safina on Jun 11, 2008Comments: For years St.George, Staten Island has been the location of choice for homeless shelters and halfway houses. We now have more than our share and are suffering the consequences: high crime, loitering, littering and daily instances of intimidation. Please do not allow St. Vincent's Medical Center to open yet another halfway house here. Help us in our struggle to improve the quality of our lives and the prospects for our future development as a family-oriented residential community.Flag

Name: Robin Rodriguez on Jun 11, 2008Comments: I am opposed of this facility only because it is for people with mental disorders and ex-prisoners. I have two students that attend Curtis HS and I ask that you withdraw your approval and stop this facility.Flag

Name: Ellen Icolari on Jun 11, 2008Comments: Our community is surrounded and infiltrated with social services providers. It's time communities in tother parts of the Island do their fair share. Residnetial communities should not be the first step out of incarceration for mental patients and criminals.Flag
