Yeah as I said. DHS made a new rule that they’d no longer cover any facility that was exclusively for homeless with psychiatric issues. So the BRC decided in their infinite wisdom to also remove their security in their generally sleazy operation.
I have had dealings with this building for the last decade. I have never seen it more poorly run, both clients and personnel are at risk to violence, clients with Covid are routinely kicked out for Covid and told to go to their Covid shelter but then told “we don’t know where that is so you’re on your own”
The shelter system needs legitimate government oversight. Or just be city run entirely.

Most city run services are just as broken. Public housing, NYPD, DOB, DOE, public hospitals, hell even the street sweepers don’t want to do their jobs lately.

Its one of the reasons why I said the “police defund” would fail.
People pushed for police to have no contact with the homeless. These groups either have been incapable of undertaking the homeless issues in their own facility. OR intentionally don’t want to take control and because they want to force responsibility on the NYPD.
