"City Hall has previously said it will continue operating intake at the Bellevue center until it receives a court green light to relocate to East 3rd St. The city will be stuck using the dilapidated Bellevue site for intake until at least May 28, unless the appellate court the city appealed to rules in its favor beforehand."
A Manhattan State Supreme Court judge postponed arguments over moving homeless intake services for single men to 8 East 3rd Street in the East Village. The judge previously issued a temporary injunction that blocked the city’s May 1 plan to relocate intake from the Bellevue site due to safety concerns. Local residents, represented through an unincorporated group, challenged the move, citing neighborhood safety risks and alleging the city lacked authority to bypass required public and environmental reviews using an executive order. The city denied these claims and said it has broad authority to manage social services across shelter sites. The city will continue operating intake at Bellevue until at least May 28 unless an appellate ruling changes the outcome sooner.
