"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."
"The nine-story, city-owned building, located at 400 E. 30th Street, has served for decades as an emergency take-in center for men and adult families new to the city's extensive shelter system. Part of Bellevue Hospital's old psychiatric ward, it can accommodate approximately 850 people."
"The NYS Comptroller's Office conducted an oversight report of the shelter in 2015, finding that it had deteriorated to such a state that conditions could not be addressed by a traditional plan of corrective action."
The nine-story Bellevue homeless shelter, located at 400 E. 30th Street in Manhattan, will close before next month due to safety concerns cited by Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration. The city-owned building, formerly part of Bellevue Hospital's psychiatric ward, has served as an emergency intake center for men and adult families for decades, accommodating approximately 850 people. Homeless men will be redirected to 8 East 3rd Street, while adult families will go to 333 Bowery on the Lower East Side starting May 1. Current residents will be transferred to a Brooklyn shelter until permanent housing is arranged. The site will undergo major redevelopment following closure.
