Check Crain's Map
By Rosa Goldensohn and Gerald Schifman
Where will
the de Blasio administration put 90 new homeless shelters it promised
this week? It has revealed the location of just one—Crown Heights in
Brooklyn—but data obtained by Crain's indicate where the rest will be.
The shelter
destinations can be roughly divined from a spreadsheet showing where
New Yorkers last lived before applying for shelter, as the city's new
policy is to house the homeless in their own communities.
Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday
called it “a borough-by-borough, neighborhood-by-neighborhood approach
that will ensure that people are in shelter … as close to the
neighborhood they come from as possible.”
The de
Blasio administration plans to close 360 shelters as it creates 90 new
ones in the next five years. Some of the new shelters will be in the
same buildings as ones that have been closed. The rest will go into
other buildings or be built from scratch, officials said.
