The Center for Justice Innovation last month unveiled its new Bronx He**in Overdose Prevention and Education (HOPE) mobile outreach van, designed to address drug addiction and overdoses on the spot, at any time, in any Bronx neighborhood.

According to Magaly Melendez, program manager at Bronx Community Solutions, the van is staffed by people who have their own past experience with drug addiction and understand what those in the midst of it are going through.

"You don't have to explain that you're shivering because you're in active withdrawal," she said.

New York City Council Member Rafael Salamanca Jr. and the New York Botanical Garden partnered to commemorate Hispanic Heritage Month by hosting the annual Fiesta de Flores celebration.

"As a proud Puerto Rican kid from the South Bronx, this celebration means a great deal to me," Salamanca said. "Growing up, we didn't always have spaces like this to celebrate our culture out loud and share our heritage with the next generation."

Governor Kathy Hochul presented twin checks for $3 million each Tuesday at the Davidson Community Center in the West Bronx to fund two community programs tackling gun violence in the Bronx.

U.S. Representative Ritchie Torres is calling on NYCHA to prioritize converting the gas heated Mitchel Houses in Mott Haven to all-electric following the Oct. 1 partial collapse of one of its buildings after a boiler explosion.

"Electrifying public housing means defusing the ticking time bomb of flammable fossil-fuel systems that threaten both life and property," Torres said in a letter to Mayor Eric Adams and NYCHA.

He said that it was only by "fortune — not foresight" that no one was injured or killed when the boiler explosion blew out an entire corner of a 20 story residential building, sending bricks raining down into the courtyard below.
