    In light the various shelters / supportive housing located at 329 Clarkson (Clarkson Estates) , 681 Clarkson (two shelters plus 427 supportive units), two CAMBA supportive bldgs on Albany directly west of 681 Clarkson, plus 781 Clarkson’s Breaking Ground shelter, I propose the following:

    “Clarkson Av, located in the Homeless Heights section of E Flatbush,
    shall be co-named Skid Row.”
