Regarding “Syracuse board sends wrong message on affordable housing (Editorial Board Opinion),” May 19, 2024:. Affordable housing applicants should not have the housing available to them largely committed to social service agencies like Helio Health. Dedicating half the apartments to clients of a nonprofit agency serving addicts means chaos. Look what the clients of Helio and other agencies did at the Skyline Apartments: rampant crime, open drug use, multiple police and ambulance calls daily, needles and human waste in hallways, and murder. Does anyone remember that poor woman and what an ugly death she suffered?
