Q&A

Chair Hudson asks why Tillery incidents dropped and whether DHS visited

New York City Council · Oct 28, 2026 · starts 1:34:21 · 1 min 44 sec

Hudson asks what caused the drop. Fellini credits a new provider, reassessments, transfers, and repairs. Dalton and Fellini say they have not visited Tillery; Hudson invites them.

Crystal Hudson

And to what do you attribute the drop in all of these numbers?

Christine Clarke

I think a new agency brings the opportunity for a new perspective.

Christine Clarke

All the clients there were reassessed, which would be a normal course of business when there's a change in provider.

Christine Clarke

I think, you know, in doing that assessment, some clients whose needs were better met elsewhere were transferred.

Christine Clarke

There are also some repairs that the provider is doing to the building to try to improve the facilities.

Christine Clarke

So I think we've seen some...

Christine Clarke

improvements with the provider change that have likely contributed to the reduction.

Crystal Hudson

And would you say that those are site configuration and daily operations?

Crystal Hudson

Changes to site configuration and daily operations?

Christine Clarke

Daily operations for sure.

Christine Clarke

The site configuration is harder.

Christine Clarke

The building is the building.

Christine Clarke

It's a limited site.

Christine Clarke

Yeah.

Christine Clarke

So I'd have to look into what, if any, building changes were made.

Crystal Hudson

Okay, fair, and thank you for that.

Crystal Hudson

And have you all visited that site and met with residents and the staff at BRC?

Erin Dalton

I have not, no.

Crystal Hudson

Commissioner?

Crystal Hudson

No.

Christine Clarke

I have not either.

Crystal Hudson

Okay.

Crystal Hudson

I welcome you to visit.

Crystal Hudson

I have been there since BRC has been there.

Crystal Hudson

I was also there a few times when ICL was there, so happy to schedule some time to do that.

Erin Dalton

That's great.

Erin Dalton

I'll take that invitation.
