New Pilot Brings Home Health Aides to NYC's Homeless

For people leaving homelessness behind, the hardest part often isn't getting the keys to a new apartment — it's the weeks afterward, when Medicaid paperwork hasn't caught up and essential care can lapse. NYC Health + Hospitals' new Bridge to Care pilot, backed by the Helmsley Charitable Trust, is designed to close exactly that gap. The program has already placed 22 formerly homeless patients into Fischer Senior Apartments in the Bronx, pairing them with home health aides during the 45-to-90-day stretch before Medicaid coverage kicks in. Patient Edward Johnson, now receiving treatment for leukemia from the stability of his own apartment, describes the support as the difference between managing his recovery and facing it alone. The initiative is one piece of Project ASAP, the health system's broader push to speed up supportive housing placements citywide.

Cleo Lands West Village Lease via Tungsten Property

Three Top Hospitality is bringing its Brooklyn dining playbook across the river, and Tungsten Property helped make it happen. The firm's Lydia Bell and Cole Stapleton sourced an off-market space at the corner of Hudson and Jane Streets for Cleo, the rotisserie concept from Halley Chambers and Kip Gleize, marking the duo's first foray into Manhattan after building a following with Margot and Montague Diner in Brooklyn. Since opening in April, Cleo has drawn attention for its rotisserie chicken and neighborhood feel — a fit the ownership team credits in part to Tungsten's read on the West Village market and hands-on negotiation support.
