Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley said she believes two adjacent properties next to where the Department of Homeless Services (DHS) has proposed a 125-family homeless shelter will soon go up for sale, so the opportunity for a new school on the site is now.

“It would present the DOE with an opportunity to create a nine-acre campus in the most overcrowded school district in the city,” Crowley said. “We have a 365toy once-in-a-lifetime opportunity here that the DOE cannot sit idly and waste time. They need to be proactive and get this property.”
