Linden General Hospital was "a 78-bed private health facility in a rundown part of Brooklyn's East New York section." [1] It was a "two-story brick" building located at 501 New Lots Avenue.
The building previously housed Riverdale Hospital. [2]
Linden General Hospital was founded as a privately owned hospital in 1933, and sold twice, once to a dentist, the second time to two doctors. Fees for service to patients from Medicaid and Medicare [1] comprised "most of" their income. [3] Due to various lackings, [1] the hospital lost accreditation and subsequently funding. [3] It subsequently closed, [4] and the 1920-built building [5] became a homeless shelter. [6]
For "life-threatening fire and health violations", [4] Linden General lost certification and funding [1] but this situation, due to insufficient coordination among Federal, state and city oversight authorities, did not lead to an immediate closure. One factor was that the state "did not have legal jurisdiction over proprietary hospitals in the city" were initially observed. Following "lengthy legal battles in which the state was hampered by lack of staff" the hospital closed.

Patient dumping or homeless dumping is the practice of hospitals and emergency services inappropriately releasing homeless or indigent patients to public hospitals or on to the streets instead of transferring them to a homeless shelter or retaining them. These cases may usually require expensive medical care with minimal government reimbursement from Medicaid or Medicare. The term homeless dumping has been used since the late 19th century and resurfaced throughout the 20th century alongside legislation and policy changes aimed at addressing the issue. Studies of the issue have indicated mixed results from the United States' policy interventions and have proposed a variety of ideas to remedy the problem.

Breaking Ground, formerly Common Ground, is a nonprofit social services organization in New York City whose goal is to create high-quality permanent and transitional housing for the homeless. Its philosophy holds that supportive housing costs substantially less than homeless shelters — and many times less than jail cells or hospital rooms, and that people with psychiatric and other problems can better manage them once they are permanently housed and provided with services. Since its founding in 1990 by Rosanne Haggerty, the organization has created more than 5,000 units of housing for the homeless. "This is about creating a small town, rather than just a building," according to Haggerty. "It's about a real mixed society, working with many different people." Haggerty left the organization in 2011 to found Community Solutions, Inc. Brenda Rosen was promoted from Director, Housing Operations and Programs to Executive Director, and has led the organization since.
