Petition Against BRC Homeless Shelter at 127 West 25th Street
We are signing this petition to protest the opening of a homeless shelter at 127 West 25th Street by the Bowery Residents Committee (BRC).
The neighborhood mix of West 23rd Street, and West of 5th Avenue is a transitional neighborhood with a mix of light industry, small businesses and residences. This neighborhood has blocks of housing projects and numerous nightclubs, which already strain the resources of our local police precinct. Neither BRS or DHS has yet to meet with community residents and businesses, despite repeated requests.
By signing below we ask the Community Board 4, City Council Member Christine Quinn, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, State Senator Tom Duane, State Senator Liz Krueger and Assembly Member Richard Gottfried to take immediate steps to stop NYC Department of Homeless Services from granting a permit and funds to BRC for a homeless shelter on West 25th Street.
