   Two dozen destitute families with 37 school-aged kids were evicted from   
   a Queens homeless shelter — despite desperate pleas for Mayor Zohran   
   Mamdani to stop the displacements.   
      
   The evictions from the City View Inn in Long Island City began last   
   weeks, shortly after the families received an abrupt notice that it’d   
   would be converted into a shelter for single men, officials said.   
      
   The displacements quickly drew outrage from locals angry that the 25   
   families, whose children attended a nearby public school, would be   
   relocated in the middle of their school year and a devastatingly cold,   
   deadly winter.   
      
   They hastily organized an emergency protest, where Councilwoman Julie   
   Won (D-Queens) decried the evictions as a callous holdover from the   
   much-criticized migrant shelter policies of former Mayor Eric Adams —   
   and called for Mamdani’s administration to put a stop to it.   
      
   “Stop these inhumane, Eric Adams-era practices of treating people like   
   objects and property,” Won said during the protest, according to a CBS   
   New York report.   
      
   “The new mayor must put an end to inhumane displacement policies for our   
   migrant families,” Won added to The Post this week. “Let our children   
   stay in their neighborhood shelter where they have built community   
   within the last year and let them walk to their local school.”   
      
   City Hall officials on Friday defended the decision to convert the   
   shelter along Greenpoint Avenue, arguing the brutal cold snap made it   
   necessary to find sanctuary for adult homeless men.   
      
   “We moved with urgency to expand low-barrier bed capacity for single New   
   Yorkers experiencing homelessness — reconfiguring and optimizing   
   existing shelter space to meet the moment,” a City Hall spokesperson   
   said, contending officials worked to accommodate the families’ needs.   
      
   “Because responding to a crisis isn’t just about adding beds. It’s about   
   protecting people’s lives, their education, and their path to stability   
   — all at once.”   
      
   But the evictions’ abruptness rankled locals who’ve long made peace with   
   the migrant family shelter, which opened in 2018 as a “temporary”   
   facility.   
      
   “We understand their plight and we were willing to hold on because it   
   was still living up to the original intent, which was these were   
   temporary and they would be closed,” said Tom Mituzas, a member of the   
   local Blissville Civic Association.   
      
   “Why were the men more important than the people already living there? I   
   don’t understand why there had to be a change. Why did they have to push   
   them out?”   
      
   The Blissville Civic Association sent Mamdani and other local elected   
   officials a Feb. 11 letter pressing for details about whether the single   
   men’s shelter would be permanent or temporary.   
      
   Meanwhile, some families who lived in the shelter have been moved all   
   the way into Jamaica, despite their children still remaining enrolled in   
   PS 199 Maurice A. Fitzgerald School in Sunnyside, a stone’s throw away   
   from the shelter, a spokesperson for Won said.   
      
   Won directed some of her fire at the Department of Social Services   
   Commissioner Molly Wasow Park, an Adams appointee who recently tendered   
   her resignation and who’s last day was Monday.   
      
   “Commissioner Park has a responsibility to keep families in their   
   community,” Won said in a statement.   
      
   “DSS/DHS evicted all 37 children and their families from a neighborhood   
   shelter in our district, ripping them from the homes, friends, and   
   routines that they relied on for months,” Won said Friday.   
      
   “It is deplorable that this agency did nothing to stop these evictions   
   from happening in the dead of winter. There must be immediate policy   
   changes at DSS/DHS to halt all transfers and evictions during the school   
   year—all children deserve stability and protection.”   
      
   City Hall officials said kindergarten through sixth-grade students are   
   entitled to busing if they’ve been placed in temporary housing.   
   Upper-grade students can receive OMNY cards, they said.

   1000% for it. Temporary for 8 years is plenty. Time to move homeless men   
   there. This addition will hopefully bring much needed diversity to   
   gentrified areas. The lovely residents will do everything in their power   
   to bring the properties value in the area down and with that make it   
   more affordable for everyone especially those who they displaces from   
   the shelter. As the success of this will be guaranteed it should be   
   exported to other areas. May I suggest Astoria, Green Point, Bushwick,   
   BedSty, Flatbush, Bay Ridge, Williamsburg and many many more.
