Why Hasn’t Councilman Brannan Met With The Residents in The Towers To Share Information About the Homeless Shelter on 4th Avenue?
I spoke with a resident who lives in The Towers and he said they were blindsided by the homeless shelter. After all this time, Councilman Justin Brannan has not gone to speak with them or sent them any information about the homeless shelter that is proposed for 4th Avenue, near their buildings.
At a recent Board meeting at The Towers, many more residents showed up to the meeting then usual. The primary topic of was the proposed homeless shelter. The Board has been actively trying to get clear statements from Councilman Brannan and the Department of Buildings about this shelter, but have not received any clear answers.
Many residents living in The Towers tried reaching out to Councilman Justin Brannen, but have not received a response. Some said their numbers were blocked. Why hasn’t Brannan scheduled a meeting with them?
In November, Community Board 10 said one sentence about the homeless shelter. (Info) Josephine said she was getting information that week, but she didn’t share anything more with the community.
Residents in Bay Ridge are worried about crime, vandalism, drugs and a decrease in general safety due to the homeless shelter. A protest will take place on Wednesday, January 31st at 12:00 pm outside of Councilman Brannan’s office,
