South Bronx shelter plan sparks outrage as residents and officials push back

By Emily Swanson Posted on January 27, 2025

Mayor Eric Adams’ plan to open a 2,200-bed shelter for migrant men in the South Bronx is being met with massive resistance from residents and elected officials, including Rep. Ritchie Torres, who said the plan for 322 Bruckner Boulevard is “typical of the second-class treatment the Bronx has typically been given.”

Torres held a press conference Friday alongside Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson and Community Board 1 Chair Clarisa Alayeto to denounce the city’s plan for a new shelter in the Bronx. The announcement comes just weeks after the city revealed plans on Jan. 10 to close 13 shelters across Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and Yonkers by June.
