Two homeless individuals from the East Village say they were left stranded in the Bronx after accepting services from outreach teams, including a “Safe Haven” spot that just opened last month.
Ricardo Morales and Francisco told amNewYork Metro that they were approached by outreach services on April 26 and offered them single rooms inside a newly opened Safe Haven that Mayor Eric Adams himself cut the ribbon on during a ceremony on March 29. Excited to take advantage of the offer from the DSS-DHS teams, Francisco and Morales said the outreach workers called in advance to ensure there was space at the Morris Avenue Safe Haven and then placed them in an Uber.
