Signs for the Wyndham Garden Hotel in Fresh Meadows came down sometime in the last few months, but it will continue to serve as a transitional community for the formerly incarcerated through the end of the year.
The 61-27 186 St. hotel has been used as a home for formerly detained individuals since April 2020.
“All hotels are under contract, and will remain open, through the end of 2021,” B. Colby Hamilton, the chief of public affairs at the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice said in an email to the Chronicle. “The City is committed to all of our transitional facilities, including those in Queens, that provide those returning from incarceration a much-needed home base of support as they work to reintegrate into our communities. The Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice and our partners inside and outside government are working tirelessly on the next phase of the program in the new year.”
Kandra Clark, the vice president of policy and strategy at Exodus, the group overseeing housing at the hotel, told the Chronicle that the group has not heard from the city about a contract extension date. The staff is working with the 116 residents to help them find permanent housing and employment.
The Fresh Meadows hotel is independently owned and
operated as a franchise and hasn’t been affiliated with Wyndhman since
September, according to the chain’s global communications director.

"Oh, New York City
Can you say it ain't true
Can you tell me now
Before I'm leaving you
I'd give anything I own
Just to believe in you again"

Amm, where are your elected offficials? Why have you not put together an independent civic committee that is not, like the Queens Civic Congress, a real civic as they have in Manhattan with teeth ready to take on that hacks?
Oh forget it Jake, its Queens.
No wonder. I've been accosted by beggars in the Shopping Center. Think twice before going here again!
Fresh Meadows is a depressing wasteland. Great place to build a prison and a sewage treatment plant.
This is an attack on middle class people.
Talking to a DeMoRat about this is like talk to someone with Dementia.
They repeat Fake News over and over....
It's not about who uses the hotel. To the far-left Marxist deep in their small minds Fresh Meadow home owners doesn't have the right to wealth. They despise the American dream, and middle class home ownership is a perfect image of it.
The homeowners got a huge building to block their sunlight and now it is a transient shithole. Surely they will dutifully vote D in the next election!
@“ This is an attack on middle class people.”
Fake news!
@"Fresh Meadows is a depressing wasteland"
Says who ? Drugs are bad for you.
"Great place to build a prison and a sewage treatment plant" What ???
A good rule to live by: If you have nothing to contribute to the conversation, don’t!
@"To the f"ar-left Marxist deep in their small minds Fresh Meadow home owners doesn't have the right to wealth"
What a load of nonsense. Politicians just want to shove homeless people somewhere, and a hotel is an easy, convenient solution to get them past the next election cycle. Nothing to do with Marxism or Fascism, and a lot to do with lazyism.
Once one of the garden spots of NYC, Fresh Meadows began to deteriorate as soon as Bloomingdales moved away. What's happened under the DeBlasio administration borders on the criminal. Anyone to write the follow-up on "City for Sale"?
Halfway house? Halfway to what? Perdition?
@"Nothing to do with Marxism or Fascism"
Does your reality serve a purpose?
@“ A good rule to live by: If you have nothing to contribute to the conversation, don’t!”
And what have you contributed besides the usual nonsense we see in the comments section?
@“ Once one of the garden spots of NYC,”
That ended once the first house was built.
@"Fresh Meadows is a depressing wasteland"
Are you a tribalist twit ?
A lot of public policy is an attempt to treat the symptoms of a greater problem. One created by failed government policy. Here is a couple of quotes from a great American !
"The poverty rate among black married couples has been in single digits ever since 1994. You would never learn that from most of the media. Similarly you look at those blacks that have gone on to college or finished college, the incarceration rate is some tiny fraction of what it is among those blacks who have dropped out of high school. So it’s not being black; it’s a way of life. Unfortunately, the way of life is being celebrated not only in rap music, but among the intelligentsia, is a way of life that leads to a lot of very big problems for most people." ~ Thomas Sowell
"The way the [welfare] programs are organized, poor people are only paid to do things that are counter-productive - such as breaking up their families, such as not earning above a certain level of income." ~ Thomas Sowell

So, why are you still here ?
@"No wonder. I've been accosted by beggars in the Shopping Center. Think twice before going here again!"
No, they weren't beggars. They were security guards trying to get you to leave because you smelled so bad.
@we see
How many is you bike boy?
@They repeat Fake News over and over....
Of course.
Indoctrination starts at a young age. By end of college they are full blown propaganda clones.
Go figure.
@ Nothing to do with Marxism or Fascism, and a lot to do with lazyism.
Never believe that. Build Back Better means destroy first so you can build back, better is relative and subjective.
Nothing here is lazy, is all planned.
What do you think what happens at the UN meetings in NYC? Voodoo?
Unbelievable that people have no clue about the world they live in.
Klaus Schwab said by 2030 "You'll own nothing and you'll be happy"
If you are still alive after booster number 322, but that's an other discussion.
@“ Of course.

You have been watching Fox that long? No wonder you are spouting off like Dollie the sheep.
@“ Unbelievable that people have no clue about the world they live in.”
That would be you!

When did they let you out if Creedmore?
**No, they weren't beggars. They were security guards trying to get you to leave because you smelled so bad. **
Are you talking about your personal experiences?
When did they let you out if Creedmore?
If Creedmore? Not sure where you are? Ask your nurses.
No wonder you are spouting off like Dollie the sheep.
Who happens to be smarter than you obviously.
Fox is that in the forest? Looks like CNN has more pedos than you brain cells.
No wonder you crazy.
@"Indoctrination starts at a young age. By end of college they are full blown propaganda clones" Yes it is very said most Sheeple parents allow it to continue !
Cowards and liars will never ever stand by their words and avoid being confronted when called out on their lies.
