A Manhattan judge pushed back a hearing this week that would have provided at least a temporary answer on whether the city can open a homeless intake center in the East Village after local residents filed suit to stop it — an “uncommon” move in cases like these, Legal Aid attorneys say.
State Supreme Court Judge Sabrina Kaus now will not hear arguments from the city and residents opposed to the plan to move intake services for single homeless men to an existing homeless shelter at 8 East 3rd St. until May 28, saying she wanted to see additional documents from City Hall before making a ruling.
