Manhattan residents are demanding that the city Department of Investigation probe a $500 million, 40-year government contract involving a shelter for women with drug addiction and mental illness.
The shelter, currently under construction, will be nine stories high.
“It’s going to be bringing a large number of people seeking opioid addiction treatment into a residential neighborhood. And they’re not planning to have a waiting room,’’ she said.“I think that the benefits of providing help for people in this city that need it would outweigh the risk of any potential crime that could come with them,’’ said Eneuri Acosta, 41, who lives a few blocks away.
The city DHS’s $500 million contract is with Project Renewal and runs from August 2021 through June 2060. The developer is The Hudson Companies.The city’s shelter system is now bursting with a record-breaking 104,000 residents, more than half of them migrants.
