“#Curtis Sliwa says Dems will continue homeless hotel shelters<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa held a campaign rally to allege the de Blasio administration\u2019s \u201creign of non-transparency\u201d on the homeless crisis would continue under rival Eric Adams and the state\u2019s incoming governor.<\/p>\n

The Republican hopeful held a Tuesday night rally<\/a> to mark the five year anniversary of a successful push by protestors to prevent a Maspeth Holiday Inn Express from being permanently converted into a homeless shelter.<\/p>\n

Sliwa \u2014 donning his Guardian Angels beret and flanked by an enthusiastic group of working class advocates and politicians who alternatively cheered and jeered while toting colorful anti-de Blasio signs \u2014 said Adams\u2019 first order of business with Kathy Hochul was lobbying her to sign a bill that would continue the controversial hotel policy.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe requested a meeting with the incoming governor to encourage her to sign a state bill that would allow outer borough hotels to be used for mental health clinics,\u201d Sliwa said.<\/p>\n

The city is phasing out the hotel program, but a push to open 90 new homeless shelters is ongoing. Sliwa accused homeless czar Steve Banks of not seeking community input and ramming the facilities into outer borough communities that don\u2019t want them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I\u2019m elected mayor this will end. $2.1 billion is spend each year for homeless services. And what do they succeed in doing? Warehousing men women and families. That\u2019s all it is,\u201d Sliwa said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re in by 10:00 at night, that\u2019s the curfew. You get kicked out by 7:30 (a.m.) to roam the neighborhoods that you\u2019ve been put into, many of whom never came from those neighborhoods. It creates an adversarial situation with your neighbors and those who are now clients of the Department of Homeless Services and it\u2019s led to many, many problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other speakers accused Democratic officials of making \u201csweetheart deals\u201d to benefit friends in the hotel industry, while doing a disservice to the city\u2019s 60,000 people without homes, many of whom suffer from substance abuse and mental health problems. <\/p>\n

Last month, Adams \u2014 who is heavily favored to defeat Sliwa \u2014 indicated he may keep Banks on board if he wins in November.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s some commissioners and deputy mayors \u2014 you look at the amazing things that Banks has done. I knew him when he was an advocate for the legal services, and he was always an advocate,\u201d the Democratic nominee told PIX 11<\/a>. \u201cI thought he brought fresh ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not looking to just remove everyone,\u201d the current Brooklyn borough president said. \u201cWe want to have a real transition of looking at the best talent.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
