A new homeless shelter being built at 97 Wyckoff Ave will be the 12th in Bushwick.
On August 27, members of the Bushwick-based community group Bushwick Neighbors United issued a press release announcing they sent a cease and desist letter to the Department of Homeless Services (DHS) compelling them to “cease and desist all work” on the new men’s homeless shelter set to open soon at 97 Wyckoff Ave. This is the latest in a string of actions taken by residents living near the shelter site to prevent the shelter from opening.
