Homecrest Community Services, Inc.

Alliance for Community Preservation and Betterment’s mission is to improve quality of life and public safety, and to promote sustainable economic recovery in Chinatown and surrounding neighborhoods. Alliance shares Mayor Adams’ vision that “public safety is the prerequisite for prosperity.” Let’s address the issue of public safety in a community that has seen unprecedented violence in the last two years.

 

THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELESS SERVICES WANTS TO ADD ANOTHER HOMELESS SHELTER TO CHINATOWN, THIS TIME IN THE HEART OF OUR COMMUNITY LOCATED AT 231 GRAND STREET AND BOWERY IN THE FORMER HANBEE HOTEL.

 

Chinatown already carries a disproportionate burden of homeless shelters here in Manhattan - 6 existing homeless shelters, 4 in the active pipeline - all concentrated in Chinatown and affecting adjacent neighborhoods including Little Italy.

 

We say NO MORE SHELTERS in Chinatown and NO to 231 Grand Street.

 

You are our voice. Stop #shelterdumping #NotFairShare

 

Please protect our safety, to allow us to thrive and grow our businesses to contribute positively to our community in which we live and work daily.
