Advocates press council on lead testing, Rainbow Terrace investigation and youth-service capacity
During the public-comment period, Josiah Corliss of NEOC and other residents urged council and public-health partners to prioritize lead testing and follow-up for residents affected by the Rainbow Terrace incident, noting the site was built on material dredged from the Flats and that testing rates in Cleveland remain well above the national average. Corliss also said Millennium Group, the former manager of Rainbow Terrace, had its HUD portfolio removed for poor performance and asked the city to coordinate testing and healthcare for affected residents.

Corliss also raised the closure of Northpointe, a city-owned building operated by the county, and described the closure as an unacceptable loss of capacity for people aged 18–24 exiting foster care and for displaced families who relied on that site.

No formal council action or budget allocation occurred on Oct. 27 to fund mass testing or reopen Northpointe; the comments were entered into the public record for potential administrative follow-up and public-health coordination.
