Thursday, NYC's Health and Hospitals (H+H) officials were due to testify in support of their " Just Home" project that would build 58 units of housing for formerly incarcerated New Yorkers with significant health needs."
"In an unusual move for a land use applicant, H+H delivered a letter to councilmembers Thursday saying the administration was now "actively reviewing" the project, which was slated for a building on the Jacobi Hospital campus.

A City Hall spokesperson said written testimony will be submitted for the record.
