Assemblyman Lester Chang (R,C-Brooklyn) strongly opposes the forced placement of an 80-room homeless shelter in Boro Park without any real community input. He will be standing alongside local residents, families and other lawmakers at an Emergency Community Rally today at 1 p.m. at the corner of 50th Street and 10th Avenue to ensure the community’s voices are heard.

“The residents of Boro Park deserve transparency, fairness and a say in decisions that impact their community,” said Chang. “This shelter proposal was pushed through without public input, raising serious concerns about safety, infrastructure and the overall well-being of our people.”

The rally will bring together concerned residents demanding city officials reconsider the location and provide a more sustainable solution that balances public safety with care for those in need.

“We stand united in protecting the integrity of our neighborhood,” Chang added. “Our community is compassionate, but we will not allow reckless policies to jeopardize the safety of our children, businesses and institutions. There must be a better plan that considers the concerns of residents.”

All residents are encouraged to attend the rally and voice their concerns.
