"My administration is focused on ensuring every New Yorker experiencing homelessness not only has access to shelter, but to spaces that are safe, humane and truly livable. We cannot accept a system that treats people without dignity or stability."
"For decades, the 30th Street facility has served as the primary intake center for adult men and adult families across all five boroughs. Any disruption to this critical front door to shelter - especially on short notice - risks creating confusion and additional hardship for people who are already experiencing homelessness."
Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the closure of the Bellevue shelter on 30th Street in Manhattan by the end of April, citing severe disrepair. The facility currently houses 250 residents and serves as the primary intake center for adult men and families across all five boroughs. The city plans to relocate residents by mid-March, moving single adult men intake to a facility in the East Village. The abrupt announcement raised concerns from homeless advocacy groups about potential confusion and hardship for vulnerable populations seeking shelter services.
