Still trying to fight the good fight, and win some battles with Housing Assistance Corporation. It's worth the effort. Negligence is negligence. It's time the organization "put up, or shut up"!

Dear Attorney Loucks
Please consider correspondence and documents forwarded to The Office of the Attorney General, Martha Coakley. The materials refer to an ongoing investigation pertaining to negligent human services in the Town of Barnstable. Housing Assistance Corporation and associated agencies harbored a number of sex offenders, convicted felons and habitual narcotics offenders. Attorneys representing this organization planned an $11.5 million dollar farm project complete with two lavish homes for executives. District Attorney Michael O'Keefe and other local law enforcement agents were apprised of the negligent standard for human services and the constant compromise to public safety. The shelter complex in downtown Hyannis provided services to a number of known sex offenders and violent convicted felons and denied any threat to public safety of the organization in proximity to innocent women, men and vulnerable children. Executives of this organization and attorneys representing their interests planned experimental projects and controversial methods for provision of substandard services including liberal administration of narcotics to violent offenders.
Housing Assistance Corporations associated O'Neill and Duffy Clinic follow methods such as "Harm Reduction Theory" developed by Edith Springer and The Housing First Model devised by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and its Office of Policy Development and Research. Unfortunately, a number of rapes and homicides were traced to the organization and associated agencies. Executives and administration of Housing Assistance denied that any convicted felons, chronic and violent addicts and habitual sex offenders were known to this organization. District Attorney Michael O'Keefe not only sat on the Barnstable Human Service Needs Committee, but also accepted campaign contributions from human service providers entrusted with their care. 501C Tax Returns indicate that 94-97% of the organization's revenue is derived from public funds. Documents indicate Housing Assistance Corporation records revenue of $14,500 divided between seven sub-organizations and continued to plan an $11.5 million dollar experimental project without funding to safely organize and develop such a project. O'Keefe sat on the committees that planned these initiatives and was involved with the expansion of negligent services for offenders.
Some of the high profile homicides include the murder of Christa Worthington of Truro, Melissa Gosule of Boston, and Jonathan Wessner of Falmouth. Christopher H. Worthington, Esq. father of the homicide victim in Truro stated that I should consider myself a "material witness" in an ongoing investigation and that I should consider any and all materials relevant. Worthington confided in me that he had close ties to the Office of the Attorney General and connections with former Lieutenant Governor, Kerry Healy. He stated that he would approach the Office of the Attorney General with materials, documents and correspondence. I have enclosed the receipts for certified mail indicating that these materials were received. In addition the materials were forwarded to author Peter Manso and Stone Phillips of NBC Dateline. Seth Rolbein, Editor of The Cape Cod Voice indicates that I was the original source of the article published in the May edition of his magazine featuring an expose on Michael O'Keefe.
Please consider the material enclosed indicating that I was charged with criminal harassment of the Barnstable Police Department and the District Attorney's Office for forwarding extensive materials and controversial correspondence. I was recently evicted from an apartment covered by Section 8 Subsidy after several attempts were made for me to relocate failed and despite evidence indicating that my rent was fully paid. Kim Gomez and Sandra Perry of the Barnstable Housing Authority suggested that former Barnstable Housing Authority Executive Director Tom Lynch and former Town Council President Janet Swain Joakim insisted that I had been "less than grateful" for the housing services provided to me in Barnstable. I was told that the decision to remove my Section 8 Housing Voucher was based on my refusal to cooperate with treatment and comply with regulations put forth by the Section 8 Program.
A number of photographs, court records and documents are placed on a website and blog roll www.welcometobarnstable.com. The items demonstrate the conditions of my recent residences and tenancies in Barnstable. I have enclosed copies of some of the documents that indicate that my life was in jeopardy in these buildings and that I was also concerned because I had been told I was a material witness. A number of documents and materials including videotape, audiotape, photographs and court records and medical records remain in my possession. These materials have been collected over eight years and are too expensive and too extensive to forward. Several parties have offered me compensation for these materials including municipal figures in the Town of Barnstable. I have declined these offers because I was told to consider myself a "material witness". In addition, there were a number of attorneys who already had access to the information and much of the materials are secured on computer hardware in a number of places. Once again, a good amount of items including this correspondence is posted on www.welcometobarnstable.com.
There appears to be a multidisciplinary corruption probe that involves many departments. Some have suggested that there may be substantial evidence of "witness tampering" subsequent to the removal of my housing subsidy. I understand that the Attorney General Martha Coakley is also under investigation over campaign contributions. I have included the records from the Office of Campaign and Political Finance for District Attorney Michael O'Keefe and Senator Robert O'Leary for your review.
Would you look into this matter for me? Thank you for your time and consideration.
Very truly yours,
Mary Clements
