Tonight: Homeless Shelter Meeting at Brooklyn Community Board 9 in Crown Heights after New Homeless Shelter Proposed on Utica Avenue between East Flatbush and Remsen Village

This is a critical moment for our community, district and neighborhood.

On Utica Avenue and Rutland Road, just two blocks away from the under construction Crown Heights MEGA’ Homeless Shelter and across the street from the migrant shelter at 599 Utica Avenue, the former Utica hotel is now housing illegal migrants.

This is just one block away from Breaking Ground’s 110 room homeless shelter, directly behind Utica Crescent which just opened a three 12-story building complex homeless shelter development just several months ago, and feet from the shuttered Kingsbrook Synagogue which Jews are banned from and NYS is trying to demolish the Shul and build another shelter.

At tonight’s CB9 meeting there is a discussion and vote tonight about proposing a new Homeless Shelter at the former gas station and current vacant lot at 530 Utica Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11203.

Join concerned and frustrated residents of Crown Heights, East Flatbush and Remsen Village tonight at the Brooklyn Community Board 9 (CB9) public Land Use meeting, to stand up and voice strong opposition to the proposed 530 Utica Ave which joins the growing list of homeless shelters (including the Mega shelter) which is affecting the neighborhood.

When: Tonight (Tuesday) November 10, at 6:30 PM
Where: CB9 Headquarters – 890 Nostrand Ave (between President St & Carroll St)

Decisions that affect our neighborhood are being made right now. If we don’t show up, others will decide for us. A strong turnout sends a clear message: our community cares, and we demand to be heard.

Every single person in that room makes a difference. The more residents who attend, the more powerful our voice becomes.

This is about the future of the Shchunah. Be there. Be heard.
