(DNAINFO)  James Fanelli | November 24, 2015 — A Brooklyn nonprofit that works with the city to provide supportive housing to the homeless has repeatedly received bad reviews from the Health Department — but when it tried to get out of its contracts, the agency refused.

Turning Point Brooklyn, one of several organzations the city uses to provide permanent housing, social services and money management to homeless men and women with severe mental illness, was criticized earlier this year in a Health Department audit for understaffing its program, ignoring requirements to inspect tenants’ housing units and poor case management.

Records also show that Brooklyn landlords have brought scores of eviction proceedings against Turning Point because the nonprofit’s clients fall behind on rent.
