Good Housing. Good Neighbors.
Good Housing. Good Neighbors focuses on how community leaders perceive three New York supportive housing residences. The residences -- which provide housing and services for individuals living with mental illness -- are Project Renewal's LeonaBlanche House in the Bronx, Goddard Riverside's 140 West 140th Street in Harlem and Services for the Underserved's Marcy Hart Residence in Brooklyn. The Network gratefully acknowledges the organizations that created these excellent residences, the neighbors and community leaders who took time out of their busy schedules to be interviewed, our filmmaker Sarah Schenck and our editor Kevin Burget as well as the New York State Office of Mental Health who sponsored the film.
