Housing the homeless in NYC: Rally at The Lucerne …
Homeless New Yorkers who have been living in hotels during the pandemic are expected to transfer back into shelters Monday, despite all of the efforts in place to keep them where they are. The transfers come one year after the Lucerne Hotel became a temporary homeless shelter. Homeless New Yorkers have said they feel safer in the hotels and fear a return to shelters will negatively impact their overall health and livelihood. They’ll make another push to stay put at the hotels Monday, the same day the city plans to transfer them back to congregate shelters.
