Homeless Shelters on Mosholu Parkway?

At a recent Community Board 7 meeting it was announced by Chairman Gregory Faulkner that 3 Homeless Shelters have moved into the neighborhood-without notification of the board itself!

While Bloomberg & City Government do not need permission from the community board to forward policy goals, CB7, has recently stated that they will "investigate why the board was not notified".

the 3 will be:
1) 199th And Valentine Ave
2) E201st & Briggs Ave
3) Knox Place (Across from De Witt Clinton High School)

IN OTHER WORDS----ON MOSHOLU PARKWAY!. All 3 places are no more than 2 blocks away!

Bronxites for Parks, one of NBT affiliates, just recently concluded a successful NO BBQing campaign we are outraged that public and community leaders have let this slip under their fingers and we firmly support Mr Faulkner in the riddance of these 3 shelters. NBT research shows that in CB7, "Bedford/Mosholu", is only of of 2 "middle class" neighborhoods (The other Upper Norwood).
