City Hall, Manhattan
United States
Description: 

The city is closing the only Homeless Intake Center in Manhattan and moving this intake function FOR THE WHOLE CITY to the Bedford-Atlantic Shelter in Brooklyn.

Your chance to protest this is now.

There will be a demonstration & press conference on the steps of City Hall in Manhattan this Thursday (May 8th) at 1pm.

The press conference is sponsored by elected officials, community leaders, and non-profit organizations who are strongly opposed to the city’s plan to require homeless men from Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx to come to the already over stretched shelter at Bedford & Atlantic in Brooklyn.

This is a disservice both to the homeless and to our community. How can the already badly run center at Bedford & Atlantic cope with this new function? How can our community cope with this change? Why should Brooklyn be the intake center for all five boroughs when 60% of the homeless men are in Manhattan?

Add your support to the elected officials & others who oppose this disastrous plan by assembling at the security booth at the Park Row entrance to City Hall in Manhattan at 12:45pm on Thursday May 8th.

NYC to move intake center for all homeless men to Bedford-Atlantic Armory

Posted: May 7, 2008 - 9:27am

Despite the City's own data that shows that 60% of all homeless individuals currently live in Manhattan, the Mayor announced last week a plan to move the City's intake center for all single men from its current location on First Avenue and 28th Street in Manhattan to the Bedford-Atlantic Armory Shelter in Crown Heights North, Brooklyn.
