Clifton shelter proposal for 200 beds draws Fossella's opposition
The borough president's office reports a projected 2028 opening, with WIN named as the proposed service provider.
Borough President Vito Fossella's office says the city has proposed a 200-bed family homeless shelter at the former Bayley Seton Hospital campus in Clifton, Staten Island.
The office's November 4 release attributes the plan to a letter from the city Department of Social Services. It describes the opening year as a projection and does not document approval.
Fossella and Assemblyman Sam Pirozzolo opposed the site at a joint press conference outside the former hospital's Bay Street entrance, according to the release. Fossella asked the city to show that the site is needed and gather community input.
