Local community group wants more transparency from those operating the shelter.
The community group Bushwick Neighbors United (BNU) issued a press release last week to bring attention to the price of a proposed homeless shelter, set to open this month at 97 Wyckoff Ave. In the press release, the group calls on New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer “to immediately review the $33 million price tag the city is paying… to operate an 80 bed men’s shelter” over five years.
