The Creedmoor Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Center in Queens Village will close following a confirmation from the Governor's administration. Elected officials, including Senator Stavisky and Assembly Member Braunstein, expressed gratitude for this long-awaited decision, citing community concerns over the shelter's impact on the neighborhood. Since its opening in August 2023, the facility housed over 1,000 single adult males and had been a source of tension due to its proximity to social service centers and local schools, raising safety concerns among residents.
"Our offices have received confirmation from the Governor's administration that the Creedmoor HERRC will be closing-a long-awaited and welcome decision for our community."
"For the past year and a half, residents have shown great patience while enduring the placement of a humanitarian shelter housing over 1,000 single adult males."
