“Woods Way” couple update
-
- July
- 9
So got an e-mail from CJ Miller, spokeswoman for County Executive C. Scott Vanderhoef, updating us on the second homeless couple who moved out of “Woods Way”  the plot of land between Route 59 and the New York State Thruway.
Miller wrote on Friday that a caseworker at the county’s Department of Social Services got a call from Mary Hussain on Thursday who said she and John Howe had arrived safely in Tennessee. She also said Hussain and Howe “seemed happy and getting on with their life.”
As for the almost completely vacant homeless encampment, Miller said the county’s legal department will check with state officials on cleaning up the area. (A portion of the land is owned by the county while another by the New York State Department of Transportation … the joint ownership had previously complicated efforts to clear the area.)
