After years of alleged wrongdoing, Queens City Councilman Robert Holden has called on the city to thoroughly investigate the Cooper Rapid Rehousing Center over breach of contract claims.
The homeless shelter, located at 78-16 Cooper Ave. in Glendale, is owned by Westhab, a private organization contracted by the Department of Homeless Services (DHS). According to Holden, the Cooper Avenue shelter must provide employment services, broker outreach and life skills programming, but has not followed through.
