Eric Adams is going to LIC tomorrow to describe his plans for turning hotels into supportive housing.

Explosion in number of homeless shelters in Queens
Well folks, you couldn't have come to this site over the last week or so and not have been informed that there is a shelter proposed for the Holiday Inn in Maspeth and a meeting about it was held last night. I am still sorting through all the videos and photos that were sent to me so I can report on this correctly instead of the way the media did. I can say that Maspeth did a GREAT job in standing up for themselves. So please bear with me.
In the meantime it has been brought to my attention that 3 more are opening or have opened around the borough (and that's just the ones I found out about)...
From the Daily News:
Meanwhile, the city has quietly moved 37 homeless families into a nearby Quality Inn in Woodside — despite Mayor de Blasio’s vow to phase out the use of hotel rooms to house homeless families.
The 37 families have been there since June, officials confirmed, and the city is providing full-time security and services for the families.
Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Queens) said local officials were never notified of the move — and he was particularly upset to be left in the dark because he’s worked with the city to welcome other shelters in the neighborhood and avoid protests.
"It’s outrageous that they would move the families in without even notifying anybody," he said.

"Since this opened earlier this year, the unemployed residents are seen wondering aimlessly around the streets and hanging out on the steps of the buildings at all hours. An assortment of shabby looking women are regularly seen hanging around the complex.
We asked for affordable housing and services for our seniors, but, DeBlasio ignored the pleas of the locals who voted for him and saddled us with more homeless housing."

It sounds like "supportive housing" is the new name fauxgressives have chosen for "homeless shelter".
