We think you should know what Dr. Mitchell Katz thinks when it comes to 'JUST HOME' at Jacobi Hospital.
Below are comments from New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation CEO Mitchell Katz taken from The Urban Design Forum 'Supportive Housing in New York City July 24, 2020.
“I think [H+H] can be the best health care provider for people for whom social determinants are the dominant cause of their illness. I want to be the best provider to the homeless, incarcerated, mentally-ill, very low-income, and those with Medicaid.” – Dr. Mitchell Katz, President & CEO, NYC Health + Hospitals
“People need health care, but the major thing they need to have good health is housing. That’s why I want to figure out how to donate more land to similar projects.” – Dr. Mitchell Katz, President & CEO, NYC Health + Hospitals
Building on the success of the RFQ and projects like CAMBA Gardens, H+H announced in April 2019 a commitment to continue using their land to develop supportive housing. At the opening of the Woodhull Residence, a building with 89 units of supportive and affordable housing built on the parking lot of a public hospital in Brooklyn, the agency’s CEO and president Dr. Mitchell Katz said, “We have a cure for homelessness. It’s called a home. It’s 100 percent effective it has no side-effects.” He added, “The important question is, now that we’ve proven that we can do it, how can we do a lot more of it?
“I don’t really like cars, so I’d rather build housing for people.” – Dr. Mitchell Katz, President & CEO, NYC Health + Hospitals
